The bathroom stands as an important point in the transmission of infection in the community and the entire environment as it houses various varieties of microorganisms, which may be potential pathogens or pathogenic themselves, in the form of biofilms, and may become a threat to immono-compromised or ill persons as shown by the results of this study. Continous use of these bathrooms without knowing the different type of organisms colonizing these areas therefore, is a public health problem. This study has revealed the number and type of microorganisms colonizing the different bathroom wall surface types in Mile 2 Diobu and so has served as a baseline for the development of strategies and safety plans for bathrooms, to reduce potential hazards to health for its numerous users. …show more content…
