- • Efficacy Of Hand Disinfectants Against Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci In Vitro G. Kampf, M. Hofer, C.Wendt
Journal Of Hospital Infection (1999), Volume 42: Pages 143 – 150
[ Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci may spread within the hospital with contaminated hands. Sterillium is compared with (70% 2 Propanol, 0.5% Chlorhexidine gluconate) and (70% 2 Propanol, 0.5% Chlorhexidine gluconate). Result : Chlorhexidine di-gluconate (0.5% and 4%) was found to be less bactericidal after 30, 60 and 300 seconds and Sterillium was found to be highly bactericidal always. ]

Prevelance of irritant skin in Health Care Workers 20 – 40% Less efficacy of alcohols is experienced on wet hands, and the alcohol should never be used on irritated skin.
Drying should be very very gentle. Excessive drying is bad for the skin. Worst irritation was observed due to precipitation of chlorhexidine by the detergent. [ Excellent study to nullify all doubts which clearly indicates that alcohols have basically no irritant behaviour on skin. however, detergents have a very irritating factor !! ]

[In health care facilities where hand washing with plain soap or antimicrobial soap and
water has been the rule, switching to an alcohol – based hand rub may cause some
personnel to complain of burning or stinging of the skin when applying alcohol.
This is usually due to the presence of underlying detergent – associated ICD among
personnel]
