Health › Roommate's Toothbrushes Likely Contain Each Other's Fecal Matter, Study Says by temitemi1(op): 8:15am On Jun 09, 2015 |
Published June 08, 2015 FoxNews.com If you share a bathroom with a roommate or a partner, there’s a good chance your toothbrush contains that person’s fecal matter, a new study suggests.
Researchers at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., studied undergraduate students’ communal bathrooms and found that more than 60 percent of toothbrushes collected tested positive for fecal matter, according to Medical News Today. Study authors noted that among those toothbrushes, there was an 80 percent chance that the contamination was from someone other than the user himself or herself, which may pose a health risk to the toothbrush owner.
Two species of bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae, may contaminate toothbrushes, researchers noted. Although the bacteria are found in the gut flora, some of their forms may be pathogenic.
"The main concern is not with the presence of your own fecal matter on your toothbrush, but rather when a toothbrush is contaminated with fecal matter from someone else, which contains bacteria, viruses or parasites that are not part of your normal flora," study author Lauren Aber, a graduate student of Quinnipiac University, told Medical News Today.
A toothbrush can become infected with another person’s fecal matter when the brush is openly stored and exposed to microorganisms from the toilet.
Study authors found that each communal bathroom at Quinnipiac University had an average of 9.4 users and that there were no differences in how people sanitized their toothbrushes, such as by rinsing them with mouthwash, or hot and cold water.
The researchers say their findings suggest people who share bathrooms can prevent exposure to contamination by not sharing toothbrushes, replacing toothbrushes every three to four months at minimum, and rinsing toothbrushes thoroughly with tap water after use and allowing them to air dry, according to Medical News Today.
Aber noted that using toothbrush caps or storing toothbrushes in closed spaces is actually less sanitary than leaving them out to dry.
"Using a toothbrush cover doesn't protect a toothbrush from bacterial growth, but actually creates an environment where bacteria are better suited to grow by keeping the bristles moist and not allowing the head of the toothbrush to dry out between uses," Aber said.
Aber’s team presented their findings at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in New Orleans.

Thank GOD for this... Haykay80: Saraki dumps APC to run with Ekweremadu June 9, 2015
Bloc votes plan collapses
Ex-Kwara governor shuns Ndume, Goje, others
Plans to get Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators-elect and members of the House of Representatives-elect to vote en bloc for principal officers during today’s inauguration of the Eighth National Assembly collapsed yesterday.
There was also a split among the PDP governors on who to support between Senator Ahmed Lawan and Senator Bukola Saraki for Senate president.
But The Nation learnt this morning that at a meeting of PDP Senators-elect in Abuja, 28 agreed to back Saraki/Ike Ekweremadu ticket; 17 agreed to back Lawan/Akume ticket. That was after Saraki decided to work with PDP in a desperate move to win the race.
Some senators and members-elect rejected the suggestion by Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose that PDP senators should vote Saraki.
Lawan at the weekend emerged the choice candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) after a mock election by the party’s senators-elect. But the Saraki camp rejected the straw poll and vowed to contest for the position on the floor today.
The APC is the majority party in the Senate, with 59 senators-elect. The PDP has 49 senators.
It was learnt that at a meeting held by the PDP caucus on Sunday night in former Senate President David Mark’s residence in Apo, Abuja, the divided PDP senators-elect and their governors were said to have threatened to draft one of them into the race if the APC failed to agree on a consensus candidate.
Some of the PDP senators said to be rooting for Saraki allegedly suggested that they should forge a vibrant opposition on Tuesday by voting against the APC consensus choice as a signal of what form of opposition to expect in the Senate in the new dispensation.
The PDP senators were said to have contended that voting against APC’s preferred candidate would signpost a resolute stand to keep the PDP alive.
A source at the meeting said a former principal officer in the Seventh Senate was the brain behind the proposal.
The source said most of the senators disagreed vehemently with the suggestion.
Those opposed to the suggestion, it was learnt, averred that toeing the line of action would only serve the interest of a few, particularly the governors, rather than that of the PDP as a party.
The source noted that most of the senators agreed that “we should wait and see what the APC senators will come up with”.
He said: “The surprise of the night was that some of the governors who former President Goodluck Jonathan laboured to install were those at the vanguard of the Saraki project, a man who practically destroyed PDP.
“Most senators at the meeting viewed supporting Saraki as robbing Peter to pay Paul.
“They contended that it will be bad politics to reward a man who took up arms against his party, destroyed it and moved to build another one.”
The meeting was said to have ended without the Senators taking a final decision on who to back for Senate president.
A former acting National Publicity Secretary of PDP Chief Bode Ojomu, yesterday warned the party against supporting any of its defectors from either being the Senate President or the Speaker.
Another source said: “At the end of the day, we could not agree on bloc votes for any of the candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives. Governor Fayose pleaded with party leaders to see the battle as one between the PDP and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. He begged the party to ‘clip’ Tinubu’s wings.
“But some senators-elect warned Fayose against going personal. They queried the morality behind PDP supporting candidates who defected from the party to the APC. They alleged that their defection led to the defeat of PDP at the polls.
“The governors were also split on who to back for the National Assembly offices.”
“At the end of the day, we could not reach a consensus on casting our votes en bloc for either of the candidates. I can tell you that everyone is on his own.”
The difficulty in arriving at a consensus has created an upset in Saraki’s camp.
It was gathered that those who are pro-Saraki were trying to strengthen the accord between their candidate and the immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu.
The latest plot will lead to Saraki dumping Senator Ali Ndume as his favourite for Deputy President of the Senate.
Another source added: “They will continue to sell a dummy to Ndume that he will be Deputy President of the Senate if Saraki gets the ticket.
“But as soon as Saraki wins, they will nominate Ekweremadu who is expected to deliver the bloc votes of the Senators-elect from the SouthEast in collaboration with Senator Andy Uba.”
Uba and Ekweremadu could not be reached for comments last night.
It was gathered that the collapse of consensus by PDP has created a serious setback for Yakubu Dogara who is seeking to contest for Speaker of the House of Representatives with the party’s candidate, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Dogara could only garner support from 55 out of the 209 APC members-elect for the House of Representatives.
Another source said: “Dogara had banked on permutations that 120 PDP members-elect will vote for him but his hope was dashed last night by the split in the party.
“In fact, to earn the support of PDP, he was mandated to mobilise at least 70 members-elect from the APC. But Dogara is stranded as he could only secure the backing of 55 members-elect from the APC.
“As it is now, the moves to frustrate Gbajabiamila’s aspiration have failed. This is why they have resorted to blackmail and wild-chase in the court.
“Some pro-Dogara members-elect were also last night whipping up religious sentiments to set the core North against the party’s candidate.”
Ojomu warned the PDP against supporting any of its defectors from either being the Senate President or the Speaker.
He said those who defected from PDP to APC could not turn back to the party they decimated for succour.
Ojomu, in a statement, warned the PDP against playing politics of “pay back time” against the APC.
The statement said: “It is worrisome to observe that many of those who walked out were former PDP members who joined the APC and are acting out exactly the same script of ‘give a dog a bad name to hang it’ adopted as strategy to exit from the PDP for their safe landing in the APC.
“Today, by their actions and inactions alongside, other several factors left PDP comatose and one wonders if everybody acted like them who will be PDP senators and House of Representatives members to be now courted to defend their interest for victory at all cost against their ruling party’s official position.
“They decimated the PDP and now want to rely on it as strength to climb to number three and four in our nation. That’s crass opportunism and the PDP leaders in the Red and Green Chambers should not provide themselves as ready tools for self-serving pursuits.
“Strengthening party supremacy, party discipline, national stability and cohesion in government are the gains of PDP in National Assembly, standing firm that any political party official position or policy shall stand.
“Nigeria needs men of stable character. After all, those who stand for nothing fall for anything. The men and women that constitute the Nigeria’s Legislature must stand for something and in these circumstances it is principled position on party supremacy, notwithstanding that the former A.C.N botched that principle in the choice of speakership in 2011.“
Ojomu said the APC had the right to put forward those who should be on its platform in the National Assembly leadership.
The statement said: “Let it be noted that if the party was ever right to sponsor senatorial/House of Representatives candidate for election, it must also be right to determine who to put forward on its platform.
“No responsible political party in a democratic process that outlaws individual, independent candidate for elective offices will abdicate its historical and natural responsibility to present a sole candidate for each of the NASS Principal Offices.
“It will be unconventional for APC to watch helplessly for its members to contest in a free for all manner in the Red and Green Chambers.
“The gladiators need to drop sophistry in their argument and be educated that there is nothing undemocratic in the ruling party adopted open balloting process as opposed to secret balloting that was preferred by contending parties. Option A4 adopted in the Third Republic with SDP and NRC was adjudged one of the best democratic processes this country has ever witnessed. You queue behind your preferred candidate or party.” |

Thank GOD for this... chesterlee: A truce meeting called on Monday by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been boycotted by Senator Bukola Saraki, one of the party’s top contenders for the presidency of the Senate. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo Senator Saraki boycotted the meeting after reportedly telling party leaders that as a former governor he could not attend a meeting summoned by a ‘mere commissioner’, referring to Professor Yemi Osinbajo, whose previous public office was as Commissioner of Justice in Lagos State. Saraki then became a Senator, while Osinbajo is now the Vice President. Following Saraki’s snub, Prof. Osinbajo didn’t bother to attend the meeting, but the party met with its elected lawmakers, with some of Saraki’s earlier supporters joining the meeting. Sources at the meeting told SaharaReporters that the leaders of the National Working Committee of the APC reaffirmed their support for candidates chosen during Saturday’s mock primaries of the party. The Senate and the House of Representatives are expected to be inaugurated tomorrow. President Muhammad Buhari has given his blessing and dispatched a letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly asking to declare the two chambers inaugurated. Buhari is expected to return to Abuja on Tuesday evening, according presidency sources. APC is expected to hold a final meeting tonight to prepare for the elections of its principal officers of the National Assembly tomorrow
