This document analyzes the microbial load on handrails at St. Albert Building in University of Santo Tomas- Legazpi. Previous studies have found that surfaces like doorknobs and handrails can harbor bacteria and be a source of infection. The goal of this study is to isolate and identify bacteria present on the handrails at St. Albert Building in order to determine potential health risks posed by microbial contamination of common surfaces.

INTRODUCTION handrails at University of Santo Thomas –
Legazpi, St. Albert Building. The human body can accumulate a lot of different diseases caused by bacteria. People may not consider this as a threat to their health when in reality it may cause severe sickness to the system (Park, 2017). Bacteria are found in every habitat on Earth: soil, rock, oceans and even arctic snow. Some live in or on other organisms including plants and animals including humans. It can also cling to metals that are used in everyday situations. Just like doorknobs, faucets, shopping carts, public tables and handrails. These are some of the common places where bacteria may lurk without people knowing that they exist. Researches have found a similar study. According to Amala and Monsi from AJMAH 6(2), a major source of hospital acquired infection was the contamination of inanimate object surfaces and cross- transmission of virulent microorgranisms among critically ill patients.This contamination occurred by transfer at microbes on the hands, nostrils, etc. of workers in health facilities as well as from patients and visitors.Based on the previous study the infections are serious health issues in the health- care system. The goal of this research is to isolate and determine the important bacteria associated with
