They occupy in operating room of hospital. Immediately after hands antisepsis, the samples were taken from the subject’s hands, transported to the blood agar plate, and plates were taken to the laboratory. In laboratory was incubated in 36 ± 1 degrees centigrade for 24 hours. For any growth medium, positive or negative of colony forming is surveyed and statistical analyses were conducted by SPSS software.
Results: There’s not a statistically significant difference between negative cultures of Betadine and Sterillium, but negative culture of Betadine 20 (66.7%) and Sterillium 18 (60%), each of them separately, is significantly greater than Silver Nanocolloid 30 (10%) (P < 0.0001). 1 and 4 subjects experience much allergic reaction on their hands, respectively by using Sterillium and Silver Nanocolloid.
