We soon study carried out about Spanish science revealed a surprising discovery: microwavenow in almost every house, he is looking for a house microbial community highly exposed.
Published in the journal ‘Frontiers in Microbiology’, this research shows that these household appliances They are not only everyday tools for heating food, but also accommodation of resistant to microbeswith potential implications for technology.
Research team, led Daniel Torrentfrom start-up Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence SL, analysis of samples of 30 microwaves from different areas, from individual houses to companies molecular biology.
Lose reply indicate that when home microwaves they shared it microbiome Similar to that on kitchens, those in laboratories show a greater diversity and more diverse microbial species.
Are they a health risk?
Among them bacteria identified in household microwaves, some such as ‘Klebsiella’ and ‘Enterococcus’ can represent a health riskalthough it is not larger than other levels that are common in the kitchen.
However, the most striking finding is the comparison between the microbiome of microwaves and that of industrial habitats such as solar panels, suggesting that these microbes may be use it in work first that requires extremely resistant organisms.
The study concludes with a clear recommendation for all users: the regular disinfection of microwaves is key to maintain hygiene and preventingadditional bacteriaThe advice is useful both at home and in the laboratory.
More lessons
Another such case leads us to a study on the kitchen sponges which shows that these everyday things can be abo a a large number of bacteriawith some powerful ones dangerous for the human health. Cooking sponges, because of them porous texture Since they are always wet, they are the best environment for bacteria to multiply.
The study was conducted by a group of German scientists and published in the journal ‘Scientific Reports’. In this study, the researchers analyzed the bacteria present use kitchen sponges and see that they have a great variety of microorganismswith sufficient concentration 54 billion bacteria per cubic centimeter.
Among the bacteria identified are some invasive species such as ‘Moraxella osloensis’, which can cause infection in people with weakened immune systems, and ‘Escherichia coli’, which may be related to poisonous food.
What is most concerning about the study is the presence of some of these bacteria anti resistantwhich increases the risk of serious infections. In addition, we note that common sponge cleaning methods, such as cooking or microwaving, it is not completely eliminated las bacteria and, in some cases, they may even favor the survival of the most resistant bacteria.
The study recommended replace the sponges kitchen accurateat least once a week, and it is noted that sponges, due to the high rate of bacteria, can be more dangerous than other kitchen materials in terms of the spread of pathogens.
