This report describes fomite transmission of Staphylococcus aureus amongst various surfaces. A contact transfer protocol was completed to evaluate the movement of S aureus between a person wearing nitrile gloves and either: handshaking with another person with gloved hands, touching a plastic cellular telephone back, or touching a stainless steel rod. The data in this preliminary study imply that the highest bacterial transfer is with metal surfaces followed by plastic. Interestingly, glove-to-glove transfer occurred but transfered less bacteria than a plastic or metal surface. The observations from this study point to the need to clearly define hygiene behaviors to reduce the potential of hand- and surface-mediated transmission.
本报告描述了金黄色葡萄球菌在各种表面之间的间接传播。完成了一项接触转移实验方案，以评估金黄色葡萄球菌在戴腈手套的人与以下情况之间的传播：与另一个戴手套的人握手、触摸塑料手机背面或触摸不锈钢棒。这项初步研究的数据表明，细菌转移率最高的是金属表面，其次是塑料表面。有趣的是，手套与手套之间也会发生转移，但转移的细菌比塑料或金属表面少。该研究的观察结果表明，需要明确界定卫生行为，以降低通过手和表面介导传播的可能性。
