説明

<jats:p>Hands and instruments used by healthcare workers may serve as vectors for the nosocomial transmission of microorganisms.

One-fifth of the cellular telephones examined in this study were found to harbor pathogenic microorganisms, showing that these devices may serve as vectors for transmission to patients.</jats:p>
