The effectiveness of hand hygiene procedures in reducing the risks of infections in home and community settings including handwashing and alcohol-based hand sanitizers
TL;DR: Hand hygiene is a key component of good hygiene practice in the home and community and can produce significant benefits in terms of reducing the incidence of infection, most particularly gastrointestinal infections but also respiratory tract and skin infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of microbial contamination in the home.
TL;DR: The occurrence of potential pathogens and the levels of contamination at individual sites, particularly in the kitchen, toilet and bathroom is described and the implications for hygiene practices in the home discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time to abandon the hygiene hypothesis: new perspectives on allergic disease, the human microbiome, infectious disease prevention and the role of targeted hygiene

TL;DR: Evidence suggests a combination of strategies, including natural childbirth, breast feeding, increased social exposure through sport, other outdoor activities, less time spent indoors, diet and appropriate antibiotic use, may help restore the microbiome and perhaps reduce risks of allergic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The antibacterial properties of sodium dichloroisocyanurate and sodium hypochlorite formulations
TL;DR: Results indicate that differences in activity between NaDCC and NaOC1 formulations are not entirely due to pH effects and that fundamental differences exist between properties and mode of action of the 2 hypochlorite systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of cleaning and disinfection in reducing Salmonella contamination in a laboratory model kitchen.
TL;DR: A laboratory model is established to compare the effectiveness of detergent‐based disinfection procedures for reducing cross‐contamination risks during handling of contaminated chicken to establish a laboratory model.
