The oxidase disc is a relatively insensitive on-spot test, the small number of microorganisms on the gloves will not affect the result. The stock of oxidase discs is however the main concern and should be dealt with aspectically. | |

Someone (or something) put them there, and you don't know what's on them. To my knowledge, there are no antibacterial gloves. Sterile gloves come in a special wrapper and are very much more expensive, and require a special technique to put them on to keep them sterile.. | |
