It may perhaps seem strange to you but also the home appliances dedicated to cleaning, such as the washing machine or the dishwasher, host countless microorganisms that can significantly harm people who have an already compromised immune system. Despite the high temperatures to which they are subjected, while washing the dishes inside the appliance, they could be in contact with bacteria which apply a lot of resistance and can prove to be quite dangerous.
In this regard, there are several studies that support this hypothesis and that affirm that real ones can lurk in places like the dishwasher bacterial proliferations. Although apparently they may seem harmless, these fungi and bacteria could pose a real threat to the weakest subjects. We are talking about people who have a compromised immune system due to various problems of salute.
One of the main guests who could live there dishwasheras discovered by a research conducted by the University of Ljubljana, in Slovenia, would be Escherichia Coli, responsible for food poisoning which can be considered more or less mortal.
Thanks to this university research that we talked about earlier, it was possible to discover the reality that most people were unaware of. All this happens because the general thought sees the dishwasher as a clean and well sterilized place alte temperature for washing. However, the reality of the facts is very different and in fact the researchers, examining the rubber seals of several washing devices, have highlighted the presence of a very large number of bacteria.
Among these, the most prolific bacteria would be Pseudomonas, Escherichia and Acinetobacter while mushrooms like the Candida, Cryptococcus e Rhodotorula. This happens mainly due to the warm and humid environment which helps the proliferation of these microorganisms and many of you are surely wondering how these bacteria and fungi can end up in the dishwasher.
According to what the researchers discovered, the real point of origin is the water of the tap that feeds the dishwasher, as well as the leftover food that enters it. In fact, the proliferation of bacteria could occur due to contaminated food which acts as the main transfer.
