Cedar shoe trees are used to keep shoes from shrinking and losing their shape. When the same cedar shoe trees are used by different shoe wearers, there is a chance of transmission of disease-causing microorganisms between people. This study was conducted to determine whether or not transmission of disease-causing microorganisms via cedar shoe trees occurs, what kinds of microorganisms can be transmitted, and how many organisms can be transmitted. In this study, both bacteria and bacterial spores were transmitted, while fungi were not; however, only several hundred to several thousand pathogenic bacteria were transmitted between any two shoes.
雪松鞋楦用于防止鞋子缩水和变形。当不同的穿鞋者使用同一双雪松鞋楦时，就有可能在人与人之间传播致病微生物。本研究旨在确定致病微生物是否会通过雪松鞋楦传播、可传播哪些种类的微生物以及能传播多少微生物。在本研究中，细菌和细菌孢子都能传播，而真菌则不能；然而，任意两只鞋子之间传播的致病细菌只有几百到几千个。
