Isolation, Characterization And Assessment Of Microbial Contamination From Metallic Coins

Abstract

Every day, individuals in all societies exchange cash, so mixing bank coins could serve as a medium for bacterial infection transmission. Many countries have looked into the function of coins in the transmission of pathogenic microflora. Metallic alloys have recently attracted a lot of attention as a new antibacterial weapon for sectors where surface hygiene is crucial. In the environment and among humans, currency coins aid as a universal medium for the blowout of microbes. The goal of our research is to quantify and liken the overall microbial load of Pseudomonas sp., Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Bacillus sp., Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp., and Proteus species exist on money coins mingling in the market arena and hospital counter. Separation of Gram positive and negative sp., from coins indicated that coins may play an essential function as a vector in the spread of pathogenic microbes in the communal in the current investigation. The pathogenic microbesidentified on money coins, such as E. coli, S. aureus, Bacillus sp., Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp., and Pseudomonas sp., can cause a wide range of illnesses, including food intoxication, wound infections, skin contagions, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal complications.
