2020, Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation SciencesCitation Excerpt :Contaminated hospital water systems are well-documented sources of different infective agents including bacteria, fungi, parasites, mycobacteria, and even viruses [12]. Likewise, contaminated water baths have been implicated as sources of nosocomial pathogens [13–17]. Consequently, guidelines have been developed for controlling the spread of waterborne microorganisms [18].

2018, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :Storage at -80oC is recommended rather than -20oC to minimise sample degradation. Warm water baths have been recommended to speed thawing [6]; however, the working group thought that this should be strongly discouraged, as this may introduce risks of cross contamination by Pseudomonas species (and other contaminants) from the water bath [111,112], and may reduce bacterial viability in the FMT. Repetitive freeze thawing of FMT samples should be avoided as bacterial numbers will be reduced during this process [113].
