Abstract:
Background:According to the report of see in 2016, 90% of adults are using mobile phones and 64% smart phones, and healthcare organizations are beginning to explore the opportunities in which mobile phones can improve and streamline care. In this study involves the risk of pathogenic virus and bacteria of mobile phones used by healthcare workers. That detected common adenovirus and influenza virus as well as streptococci and staphylococci.
Material:In this study was carried out in bacteriology laboratory at the "School of Biomedicine MNUMS". The research collected from the random methods and Mongolian National University of Medical Science‟s 80 students are participated and take a test sample that detected bacteria, them using smart phones. After all students from gave them a survey about usages and clean of smart phones.
Results:The results revealed 66% of pathogenic bacterial contamination. Our survey was detected in 33 (63,5%) S.aureus, S.pneumoniae-5 (9.4%) E.coli 2 (3.8%) Bacillus, spp-4 (7.6%) Enterococcus-6 (11.5%) Acinetobacter-2 (3.8%). HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CELL PHONE? asked to total participate in this study. They said that they cleaned up their cell phones in 55.9% once every 3-7days, 11.9% once every 10-14 days and 32.2% once a month and more than.
Conclution:Are participated in this survey sample have been contaminated bacteria 66%. In total samples have been detected 63,5% in S.aureus and 11.5% in Enterococcus. So students‟ mobile phones may become rick high reservoir of microorganism for infections.
