Abstract

<p>Disinfection of hands and environmental surfaces is considered to be one of the most effective means to reduce the risk of contact infection of drug-resistant microorganisms. Commercial ethanol-based hand disinfectants often contain not only ethanol but also various additives, and the effects of these additives on the disinfection efficacy against drug-resistant microorganisms are not fully understood. In this report, we demonstrate that five commercially available ethanol-based hand sanitizers are effective against various strains for standard test methods, antimicrobial-resistant ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) strains, and their sensitive strains. These results suggest the use of the hand sanitizers would reduce the risk of infection of drug-resistant microorganisms.</p>
