Fomites and Hand washing Experiment  
 
Purpose 
 This multi-purpose experiment was performed to get an idea about the process of 
contamination caused by microbes, and factors affecting the same.  
Background 
 Microbes can be termed quite versatile by nature. These are able to get transferred 
between/among the abiotic as well as biotic sources of an eco-system. Though, the actual 
mechanism of transfer of diverse microbes may vary, but there could be found few common 
features linked with transmission of these tiny creatures. For instance, these can be transmitted 
via fomites means; such inanimate objects/substances that have the ability to carry 
microorganism and transferring them from one individual to another. Further, our hands can also 
perform an important role in transferring of microbes into the body, and do not lose this ability 
even after washing of them via water (cold/moderately warm).  
Procedure 
 Both experiments were performed in two days. For fomites experiment, on first day, an 
agar plate was taken by us, and we divided it into two regions with the help of marker. Then we 
used a sterile swab (that was dipped in sterile water), and swabbed a surface (table) so that, agar 
plate could be swabbed further. Same step was repeated in another region of nutrient agar plate 
after swabbing the same type of swab on a pen. On the other hand, in case of hand washing 
experiment, we divided the agar plate into two regions (named as;
