Objective: The purpose of the research was the isolation of microorganisms of the genusStaphylococcus and Bacillus Gram negative after two handwashing techniques, during the laboratorypractices of nursing students. Methodology: The research was correlational and transversal, carriedout in May 2018; The participants were 40 students distributed in two groups (Control and experimentalgroups). Samples were taken by swab from recently washed hands. The 11-step clinical handwashing(CML) was applied in the control group and the 3-cycle CML in the experimental group, after training.Isolation, identification and microbial count was carried out in suitable and selective culture media.The data was processed in the Excel program, using tests of statistical significance and descriptivestatistics. Results: Negative Staphylococcus cuagulase was isolated in 40% of the total participants; Depending on t...
