Numbers of contaminated and highly contaminated mobile handwashing stations (mHWS) and highly contaminated mHWS which contained multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria

	Total	Water	Soap	Kinshasa	Lubumbashi
Total mHWS	281	281	142	184	97
Contaminated (% of total)	198 (70.5%)	191 (68.0%)	42 (29.6%)	147 (80.0%)	51 (52.6%)
Highly contaminated (% of total)	99 (35.2%)	83 (29.5%)	32 (22.5%)	72 (39.1%)	27 (27.8%)
Highly contaminated with MDR (% of total)	27 (9.6%)	27 (9.6%)	1 (0.7%)	21 (11.4%)	6 (6.2%)

Contaminated mHWS had growth of Gram-negative bacteria at concentrations ≥ 1 Colony Forming Unit (CFU)/100 ml. Highly contaminated mHWS were defined as mHWS of which water and/or soap were contaminated at concentrations > 10,000/ml CFU/ml. MDR stands for the presence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. The Ven-diagram shows the numbers of mHWS with highly contaminated water, soap and both water and soap. Soap was present in 30/67 mHWS with highly contaminated water samples
