“…Some members of the bacterial family Enterobacteriacae produce endotoxins that, when released into the bloodstream following cell lysis, cause a systemic inflammatory and vasodilatory response such as endotoxic shock which can be rapidly fatal (10). Regardless of the method of transmission; bacterial infections may be controlled to a large extent through hand hygiene (11). There are two principal types of skin flora associated with the hand, namely, resident and transient flora.…”

Hand washing is known to be an important preventive strategy and a major step in infection control. However, compliance is low in most communities. The present work investigated the relationship between the levels of compliance to hand washing and related this to the occurrence of infectious bacteria in the test population. A questionnaire which contained information on bio-demographic characteristics and hand hygiene practices was applied to 100 individuals in the study population. Microbiological samples were obtained, Total Colony Counts was done and the isolates were identified using standard bacteriological methods. The results showed that 46% of the respondents wash their hands before eating food; 40% of the test population washes their hands after using the toilet; while none of the respondents wash their hands after handling money. The highest bacterial load was found in the 0-15 years age group. The most highly occurring isolate was Salmonella enterica (23.7%). These results confirm the low level of compliance to hand hygiene in the test population and underscores the need to effectively break the fecal-oral transmission route via hands through effective interventions such as hand washing with soap and water.Key Words: enteropathogenic bacteria, hand washing, compliance LES PRATIQUES DE LAVAGE DES MAINS ET L'APPARITION DE BACTERIES ENTEROPATHOGENES PARMI LESRESIDENTS D'UNE UNIVERSITE NIGERIANE.

“…One of the ingredients that can be used as an antiseptic in hand sanitizer gel is the Moringa oleifera plant. 7 M. oleifera has an antibacterial effect because it contains saponins, tannins, and flavonoids. 8 Antibacterial substances in the M. oleifera plant will inhibit the growth or kill pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa, and Escherichia coli.…”

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is possible in the form of aerosol and fomite. Thus, hand hygiene is of utmost significance. Hand sanitizer is often used as a practical hand washing method. Purpose: This study aims to study the effectiveness of Moringa leaves extract as an antibacterial ingredient in hand sanitizer gel. Methods: Moringa leaves extract was obtained by maceration in 70% alcohol solution. The hand sanitizer formula consists of carbomer, propylene glycol, glycerin, methylparaben, and triethanolamine. The hand sanitizer gel was prepared using three formulas with different extract concentrations. The quality of the hand sanitizer gel was analyzed, including the gel acidity (pH), organoleptic, the inhibitory ability of bacterial growth against Staphylococcus aureus, and the gel dispersion.Results: This study showed that Formula III has the highest inhibitory area against S. aureus. The gel acidity (pH) was found at around 4 for all the formulas, safe for use on the skin. The organoleptic test showed no irritation to the skin for all three formulas. However, they demonstrated low dispersity. Conclusion: Moringa leaves extract is effective as an antibacterial in hand sanitizer gel.
