TI  - AN INVESTIGATION ON THE ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF HEMP FIBER AND FABRICS AGAINIST COMMON NASOCOMIAL INFECTION AGENTS
AB  - Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of hemp fiber and fabric against common nosocomial infections in intensive care units. Methods: Raw hemp fiber, hemp fabric in commercial production and cotton fabric with similar properties were used as test material. Antimicrobial activity against 21 common bacterial species in intensive care units was tested using the "disk diffusion method". Results: Hemp fiber and fabric did not show antibacterial or bacteriostatic effect against any of the 21 hospital infection agents. Conclusions: The hemp fabric, which seems suitable for use in hospitals with its robust structure, resistance to frequent washing, has not been observed to be superior to cotton fabric in terms of antibacterial properties. However, the genus, species and growing area of the cannabis plant can affect these characteristics. For this reason, more studies on the subject are required.
