In this situation, it is highly essential that textile materials used in hospitals must have the capability to eradicate/minimise cross-infection. Textiles in any form used in hospitals are susceptible to bacterial growth under appropriate moisture and temperature conditions. Patients shed bacteria and contaminate their pyjamas and sheets. The temperature and humidity between the patient and the bed are appropriate conditions allowing for effective bacterial proliferation. Several studies have found that persons in contact with contaminated textiles are the source of transmission of micro-organisms to susceptible patients. [Pg.94]
