The aim of this study was to isolate, count and identify fungi and bacteria from different kinds of clean and dirty linen in a hospital. Microbiological samples have been collected on clean bed linen (n = 200), dirty bed linen (n = 192) and staff uniforms (n = 192) by using contact plates. 55% of samples from clean bed linen were contaminated before contact with the patient, with a mean count of 3 cfu/25 cm2 (range: 1-117 cfu) when contaminated. Virtually all samples from dirty bed linen carried microorganisms, with a mean count of 23 cfu/25 cm2 (range 1-191 cfu). In addition, staff hospital uniforms showed the highest contamination rates in the study, with an average of 45 cfu/25 cm2 (range: 1-218 cfu). Microbial species were mostly bacteria commonly found in the environment or on human skin, such as staphylococci or micrococci. Nevertheless, 57% of the identified species may be opportunistic pathogens for humans, representing a risk for people with a deficient or weakened immune system, especially in cases of superinfection. Since contamination of linen seems to occur after washing, actively antimicrobial textiles would represent a valuable measure to prevent textiles from being a vehicle for transfer of microorganisms.展开更多

Tbe fabric weight loss increased with the exposure time. Their effects on surface chemical properties and morphology of flax fiber, and fabric wickability were investigated. X - ray photoelec-tron spectroscopy discovered that the surface oxygen content of the plasma treated sample was increased. Formation of voids and cracks on the fiber surface was revealed by the scanning electron microscopy. Fabric wickability first was increased and then decreased with the prolonged exposure.展开更多

The present experimental studies are directed to investigation of dyeing the linen fabric prepared with modification with enzymes. In the research, 1% and 2% solution of cellulase enzyme Beizym ENC-SB （garment auxiliary of enzymes mixture of CHT R. BEITLICH GmbH/BEZEMA AG） and pectinase Beisol PRO （enzymes mixture for cleaning cellulose fibers of CHT R. BE1TLICH GmbH） enzyme solutions were used. The main objective of this work is focus on results studies of enzyme influence on dyeing of flax fabric with direct Solphenyl dye triade Blue FGLE （economical, fairly good light fast blue, main trichromatic component for medium shades with high wash fastness）, Scarlet BNLE （economical scarlet, main trichromatic component for medium to dark shades） 200%, and Yellow GLE （very bright neutral yellow, main trichromatic component for high wash fastness requirements）. The dye-bath exhaustion, color fastness to rubbing and washing were estimated. The color parameters before and after tests were calculated.展开更多
