Raw data of microbial load analyzed on instruments, on the outer surface of sterile containers, on the outer surface of sterile containers and on instruments taken from the same sterile container, in the air, and on settle plates.

In sheet 1 the microbial load (CFU) analyzed on surgical instruments from three hospitals on different sampling days is listed. Sheet 2 lists the microbial load (CFU) detected on the outer surface of sterile containers. In sheet 3 the microbial load (CFU) measured in the sterile storage area (sampling step: storage 6) on the outer surface of sterile containers and on instruments taken from the same container is listed. Sheet 4 lists the airborne microbial load (CFU/m3) detected via active air sampling. In sheet 5 the microbial load analyzed on settle plates (by passive air sampling) is listed. (XLSX)
