Article scientifique 2026 Autre

Résumé

This protocol describes a culture-based method for assessing the microbiological quality of bathroom towels. It covers swab sample collection from towel surfaces, serial dilution and total plate count enumeration on Plate Count Agar, and isolation and biochemical identification of bacterial isolates including Gram-negative organisms on selective and differential media and Gram-positive organisms on blood agar. The protocol was developed and applied in a cross-sectional study of bathroom towels used by university students in Ghana.
