Table 4. Predicted count of S. aureus on hands in scenario 2 with and without multiple interventions.

Interventions S. aureus transferred and remaining on hands (log CFU)
Hand 1 Hand 2 Hand 3
No intervention 4.8±0.0 3.1±0.2 1.6±0.2
Washing Hand 1 1) 2.8±0.4 1.1±0.4 <1 CFU
Cleaning door handle 2) 4.8±0.0 <1 CFU <1 CFU
Cleaning the laminate bench 2) 4.8±0.0 3.1±0.2 2.7±0.3 CFU
Washing Hand 1 and 2 1) 2.8±0.4 <1 CFU <1 CFU

1) Washing was assumed to reduce S. aureus by 2.0±0.4 log CFU according to the experiment on VITRO-SKIN®

2) Cleaning the door handle and laminate bench was assumed to reduce S. aureus by 3.3±0.1 log CFU and 0.5±0.7 log CFU respectively, according to the results of reduction using white cleaning wipes with Allrengöring and low humidity (Table 2).
