Antimicrobial effect of commercial play dough, safety or not?

Abstract

Toys have been used increasingly as an aid in the treatment of hospitalized children since the 1950s due to their positive effect on child psychology. Play dough plays a role in children's reflection of their imagination and development of hand skills. In addition to the educational properties of play dough, its chemical and biological safety is also critical. This work investigated the antimicrobial effects of 40 different commercially available play doughs on various pathogenic microorganisms. According to the obtained results 52.5% of play dough samples showed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus licheniformis, 20% of play dough samples showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, 20% of play dough samples showed antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 12.5% of play dough samples showed antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans and 7.5% play dough samples showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In the era of the spread of COVID-19, when antimicrobial toys for reducing microbial load were evaluated, the antimicrobial activity of play dough was reported for the first time in this study.

Ticari oyun hamurlarının antimikrobiyal etkisi, güvenli mi değil mi?

Öz

Oyuncaklar, çocuk psikolojisi üzerindeki olumlu etkileri sayesinde 1950'li yıllardan itibaren hastanede yatan çocukların tedavisinde yardımcı olarak gün be gün artan bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Oyun hamuru çocukların hayal güçlerini yansıtmalarında ve el becerilerinin gelişmesinde rol oynar. Oyun hamurunun eğitici özelliklerinin yanı sıra kimyasal ve biyolojik güvenliği de oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışma oyun hamurundaki tehlikeye dikkat çekmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, piyasada bulunan 40 farklı oyun hamurunun çeşitli patojenik mikroorganizmalar üzerindeki antimikrobiyal etkileri araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre oyun hamuru örneklerinin %52,5'i Bacillus licheniformis'e karşı, %20’si Escherichia coli'ye karşı, %20'si Pseudomonas aeruginosa'ya karşı antimikrobiyal aktivite gösterirken, oyun hamuru örneklerinin %12.5'i Candida albicans'a karşı %7,5'i Staphylococcus aureus'a (MRSA) karşı antimikrobiyal aktivite göstermiştir. COVID-19'un yayıldığı bu çağda mikrobiyal yükü azaltmaya yönelik antimikrobiyal oyuncakların değerlendirildiği bu çalışma ile oyun hamurunun antimikrobiyal aktivitesi ilk kez rapor edilmiştir.
