Electronic devices are increasingly used by the healthcare workers. They can get contaminated with pathogenic organisms and can act as a source of healthcare associated infections. In this study we aimed to determine the bacterial contamination rates of the electronic devices handled by the healthcare workers posted in high risk areas like ICU’s, NICU’s and operation theatres. Swabs were collected from personal electronic devices of 40 healthcare workers and from 33 common devices used in high risk areas. | Electronic devices - A potential threat to hospital infection control
