Abstract

Sinaran ultraungu-C (UVC) yang bersifat germisidal banyak digunakan untuk disinfeksi permukaan. Kajian ini adalah untuk menilai keberkesanan sinaran UVC dalam dekontaminasi pelitup muka. Ujian antimikrob menggunakan sinaran UVC terhadap pelitup muka yang diinokulasi dengan patogen dilakukan pada sela masa pendedahan yang berbeza iaitu 10, 30, 50 dan 60 saat. Patogen yang diuji adalah Acinetobacter baumanii, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus rintang metisilin (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, dan virus Influenza A dan B. Pendedahan pelitup muka terhadap sinaran UVC memperoleh peratusan pengurangan sebanyak 99.9% untuk semua patogen ujian kecuali P. aeruginosa. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa sinaran UVC dapat digunakan untuk dekontaminasi pelitup muka.
