The high risk of infectious diseases through cross-contamination on plasmapheresis, such as hepatitis C, may lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma (Alter, [2007]).
The outbreak source was a Rhizopus spp. culture used in Brand A tempeh, which then acted as a novel vehicle for spreading salmonellae to consumers, probably through cross-contamination of RTE foods.
788 sickened in 2000 in Wisconsin, USA from raw beef, cross contamination of other foods (Sizzler).
The wrapping should be free of any tears to minimize any cross contamination of bacteria.
Despite the high incidence of campylobacteriosis, outbreaks are rare in Australia, possibly because of the high dose required to cause infection and because foods causing infection are thought to become contaminated through cross-contamination (16, 20 ).
The process of washing and grading eggs may also contaminate eggs via cross contamination from other eggs, contact with contaminated surfaces, or through contaminated wash water.
Blood collection following nonstandard operations largely increases the risks of infectious diseases through cross-contamination.
Currently, it is unknown if H. capsulatum is able to form biofilms in its filamentous form, which could contaminate hospital environments, medical devices, and supplies, facilitating the direct inoculation of the infective form through cross-contamination.
Interestingly, the cytogenetic features shared by cell lines TPC-1 and FB2 show that the latter is derived from the former through cross-contamination (Additional files 9, 10), thus reducing to seven the number of independent cell lines studied.
Furthermore, there is also chance of cross-contamination of cultures and accumulation of mutations through passages [ 36, 42, 43].
To prevent bleed through and cross contamination between lanes we routinely skip lanes between samples on western blots.
