HASTANE TEKSTİLİNDE BİYOLOJİK KONTROL İÇİN PROBİYOTİK BASKILI PET KUMAŞLAR

Zaman içerisinde, hastane kaynaklı enfeksiyonlar hastaneye yatırılan hastaların güvenliğine yönelik ana tehditlerden biri haline gelmiştir. Nozokomiyal patojenlerin çoğalması hastane tekstiliyle bağlantılı olduğu sıklıkla bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, probiyotik ajanlar, bir polyester kumaş üzerine tarama baskı yöntemiyle basılmıştır. Ardından, uygulama sonrası probiyotiklerin canlılığı belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen kumaşların uygulanabilirliği, kontak açısı ölçümleri, aşınma direnci ve tekrarlanan yıkamalar sonrası probiyotiklerin canlılığı üzerindeki etkisini gösteren yıkama testleri temel alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. SEM görüntüleri baskı sürecinin kalitesini ortaya koymuştur. Temel bulgular, probiyotik baskılı kumaşların elde edilmesinin mümkün olduğunu ve probiyotiklerin kumaşlara basıldıktan sonra canlılıklarını koruyabildiklerini göstermiştir.

PROBIOTIC PRINTED PET FABRICS FOR BIOCONTROL IN HOSPITAL TEXTILES

Over time, hospital-acquired infections have become one of the main threats to the safety of hospitalized patients. The proliferation of nosocomial pathogens is often reported in connection with hospital textiles. In the present study, probiotic agents were printed on a polyester fabric by means of screen-printing. Afterwards, the viability of the probiotics after application process was determined.The applicability of the obtained fabric was evaluated on the basis of contact angle measurements, abrasion resistance and washing tests which showed the effect on the viability of the probiotics after repeated laundering. SEM images revealed the quality of the printing process. Major findings include that it is possible to obtain probiotic printed fabrics and probiotics were able to survive after the printed on fabrics.
