Wonder if this problem would warrant a new product!

Antibiotic-resistant pathogens can be spread via washing machines. This has been proven by hygienists at the
University of Bonn for a children’s hospital in which a Klebsiella oxytoca type was repeatedly transmitted to newborns.
Fortunately, no dangerous infection occurred. The source was a conventional washing machine used to launder
the clothes of the newborns. This case draws attention, especially as antibiotic-resistant bacteria could also be
transmitted via the washing machine in households with people who need nursing care.

The Klebsiella oxytoca bacterium was increasingly detected during routine hygiene screenings in the neonatal ward
of a children’s hospital in Germany. The bacterium can lead to gastrointestinal and respiratory infections and in the
worst case result in fatal sepsis.
