JAKARTA - A recent study found that your smartphone and personal device may be some of the dirtiest objects you carry, because they contain bacteria that are usually found in human hate and windowing.

In a survey involving more than 500 users and their smartphones, 100 percent of the samples tested returned positive results for E.coli and Fatecal Streptococci. The survey is part of a study seeking to find out which dangerous microbes are attacking our devices.

Apart from E.coli and the faecal Streptococci which are the germs that cause food poisoning, the Bacillus cereus, and the S. aureus that causes pneumonia, were also found in more than 90 percent of the samples tested. Although none contain Salmonella, half of the samples contain P. aeruginosa, which is often found in fire.

"We want to know how common dangerous bacteria are on our cell phone screens, and what types of bacteria are the most common," said Sarah McConomy, COO SellCell, an organization conducting the research.

The most worrying discovery was the prevalence of P.Aeruginosa, a bacteria originating from airbase and its dirt.

"It's really scary to imagine abit creeping on our phones and even using it as a toilet when we don't see it," McConoyy said.

The screen of the cellphone examined in this study is owned by men and women aged 22 to 62 years.

On the screen examined, the colony of natural Streptococci and Enterococci, which formed in human and animal stomachs and intestines, was identified. The S. aureus colony was also found in samples, which have the potential to cause respiratory disease, skin infection, and even food poisoning.

Experts also say that you can be exposed to bacteria in just five minutes, when bringing your smartphone to the bathroom or toilet.

Bacteria from the content in the toilet will be inhaled and spread into the air when the toilet is rinsed, thereby increasing the possibility that the bacteria will land on your phone, especially if you leave it open in an open place in the bathroom.

"Then we take it together, stick to our cellphone screens, get out of the bathroom, and enter our other homes, where these bacteria can even spread and cause disease transmission," said SellCell. Therefore it is highly not recommended to bring our smartphones openly in the toilet.
