Attached below is the study about the effects of handwashing and the effectiveness of soap against bacteria. What conclusions can be generated from this result? (see rubrics
for the point marking)
A before washing hands

Figure 8: Agar plates with bacteria A) before washing hands B) after rinsing hands in hot water C) After washing
hands with soap for 10 seconds and D) after washing hands for 30 seconds. Images show that the number of
bacteria on the plate are not greatly reduced after a hot water rinse or 10 second handwash but bacterial levels are
reduced after a proper hand wash for 30 seconds.
