ABSTRACT
We report the result of an awareness campaign about the importance of hand hygiene after using different devices used in assistance to patients, such as tablets, notebooks, mobile phones, identification cards, watches, cameras, showing the level of contamination found after detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via bioluminescence, which enables a quantitative assessment ready and easy to implement. ATP molecules found in all living cells react with the enzyme complex to generate light and represent the presence of organic matter in such objects(AU)
