Contaminated disinfectants in health clinics in Ilorin, Nigeria.
Five of 18 samples of working dilutions of disinfectants used in the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, the University Clinic, and three other urban medical centers were found to be contaminated with bacteria. The results confirmed that disinfectants in storage support the growth of infectious agents, underlining the need to use fresh preparations of disinfectants.
