Journal Article
SMITH, L.M., LOWES, C., O'DRISCOLL, N.H. and LAMB, A.J. 2022. Identification of bacterial isolates recovered from the surface of cleanroom operators' garments following wear. European journal of parenteral and pharmaceutical sciences [online], 27(3), article number 27301. Available from: https://doi.org/10.37521/ejpps.27301

Contamination of sterile pharmaceutical products can have serious consequences, in worst case scenario resulting in patient death. Cleanroom operators are the primary source of microbial contamination, where the surface of their specialist sterile cl...

A comparison of the bacterial contamination of the surface of cleanroom operators’ garments following donning with and without gloves. (2021)
Journal Article
SMITH, L.M., O'DRISCOLL, N.H. and LAMB, A.J. 2021. A comparison of the bacterial contamination of the surface of cleanroom operators’ garments following donning with and without gloves. European journal of parenteral and pharmaceutical sciences [online], 26(3). Available from: https://doi.org/10.37521/ejpps.26302

Specialist cleanroom garments are a potential vector for transmission of microorganisms within these facilities. In order to maintain the low bioburden of such clothing it has been perceived best practice for operators to dress wearing sterile cleanr...

Gender influences bacterial contamination of reusable cleanroom operators’ garments following wear. (2020)
Journal Article
SMITH, L.M., O'DRISCOLL, N.H. and LAMB, A.J. 2020. Gender influences bacterial contamination of reusable cleanroom operators’ garments following wear. European journal of parenteral and pharmaceutical sciences [online], 25(2), article 2. Available from: https://doi.org/10.37521/ejpps25202

Background: Operators are the primary source of cleanroom contamination, with the majority of their detritus identified as skin squames and their associated microorganisms. To reduce contamination, operatives are required to wear a specific arrangeme... Read More about Gender influences bacterial contamination of reusable cleanroom operators’ garments following wear..
