Abstract

See full text

A fibrous substrate for the removal of Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) from a surface is provided. The fibrous substrate includes a capturing agent, and the affinity of capturing for the Gram negative bacteria allows the fibrous substrate to capture the Gram negative bacteria, thereby removing the Gram negative bacteria from the surface and also inhibiting the spread of the Gram negative bacteria to other surfaces that may contact the fibrous substrate. Of particular advantage, the presence of the capturing agent on the fibrous substrate may help protect against the spread or infection of pathogens without the use of chemicals, such as antiseptics or antibiotics.
