Abstract

Personal mobile phone is part of human accessories and are used in every moment. The high bacterial contaminate the main source for many pathogenic disorders. In general the rate of bacterial contamination in mobile phones 100%. The bacterial percentages of isolation frequency and occurrence were Staphylococcus aureus (5 Staphylococcus epidermidis (84%), Bacillus spp. (30%), Escherichia coli (43%) and Proteus spp. (11%). The res findings indicate that Staphylococcus epidermidis is dominant bacteria associated with mobile phones, due to direct contact with the human skin
