Microbial Contamination in

Banks and its Control

Mold, Mildew, Fungus, Yeast, and

 Contamination in Public Areas

In the present decade, human environment and public departments are at risk of many
microbial contaminations. Unfortunately, many bacteria have developed resilient to some drugs.
Thus, the risk of microbial infection is a serious concern. Also pathogenic microbes are dispersed
in high amounts in many public areas.

Several studies demonstrated the microbial contamination of different surfaces. Selim et al.
showed that 95% of cell phones were contaminated with different types of bacteria and some of
them were resistant to antibiotics (9); Al-Ghamdi et al. reported the bacterial contamination on
computer keyboards, computer mouses, shopping cart handles and elevator buttons in different
places of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (14).

Biological particles and their products are common indoor
contaminants
(Di Carlo et al., 2016), affecting health, wellbeing and productivity of
people (Mentese et al., 2015; Śmiełowska et al., 2017).

The biological contaminants may cause infection, sick building

syndrome, allergies and nosocomial diseases
(Skóra et al., 2015) and influence hygienic conditions of building materials and objects
 Presence of Deadly Pathogens
Presence of pathogenic bacteria such as Enterobacter and Serratia species on the elevator
buttons, which are one of the most commonly touched and shared surfaces, could lead to
transmission of infectious agents.

Based on the results of other studies, it is noteworthy that these bacteria are highly resistant to
antibiotics;

for example, all Enterobacter species were resistant to ampicillin (95%), amoxicillin (91%) and
tetracycline (87%) and Staphylococcus species were resistant to penicillin (87%), oxacillin (83),
amoxicillin (80%) and tetracycline (100%) (7).

• A government study has reportedly found traces of DNA footprints of
at least 78-disease causing micro-organisms on Rs 10, Rs 20 and Rs
100 notes.

• The study conducted by scientists from Institute of Genomics and

Integrative Biology under the Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research collected currency notes as samples for their study from
street vendors, grocery shops and local market places of South Delhi,
as per an Indian Express report.

Research results mostly found fungi in their samples but also

found presence of bacteria which can cause tuberculosis
dysentery and ulcers
Further Proof…
 Need for an Effective Antimicrobial

Therefore, cleaning and disinfecting the high-touch public

surfaces such as elevator buttons, ATM Buttons, Worktables,
Cubicles, Vending Machines, Cash Counters, is necessary to
prevent inadvertent microbial transmission.

Currency notes can be treated with Fresche
