Effect of handrubbing using locally-manufactured alcohol-based handrubs in paediatric wards in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Amongst sub-groups of people, the recovery of Gram-negative bacteria before use of ABHR was lowest amongst doctors (mean for hand-rinse method = 4.8 CFU; n = 10) and highest amongst parents/guardians (mean = 18.5 CFU; n = 86), although this difference did not reach statistical significance (Wilcoxon rank sum test; p = 0.15).
