Surgical masks as source of bacterial contamination during operative procedures
Surgical masks (SMs) are used to reduce bacterial shedding from the mouth, nose and face. This study aimed to investigate whether SMs may be a potential source of bacterial shedding leading to an increased risk of surgical site infection.Bacterial contamination of the SMs was tested by making an impression of the external surface of the mask on sterile
