我们对23对婴儿进行了130小时的直接观察，并记录了与清洗有关的行为，以确定婴儿中细菌粪口传播的途径。除了测试婴儿的手指、食物和饮用水外，3名婴儿在6小时内主动摄入了11.3 ± 9.2（平均值± SD）把土壤，2名婴儿摄入了2 ± 1.4次鸡粪。用肥皂洗手并不常见，一半（22个家庭中有12个）的饮用水被大肠杆菌污染。一岁婴儿每天摄入1克鸡粪和20克厨房洗衣区的土，分别消耗470万~ 2300万和440-4,240个E。大肠杆菌，分别从这些来源。除了标准的洗涤和营养干预措施外，低收入社区的婴儿应避免探索性摄入鸡粪，土壤和食土癖，以获得最佳的儿童健康和生长。
We conducted direct observation of 23 caregiver–infant pairs for 130 hours and recorded wash-related behaviors to identify pathways of fecal–oral transmission of bacteria among infants. In addition to testing fingers, food, and drinking water of infants, three infants actively ingested 11.3 ± 9.2 (mean ± SD) handfuls of soil and two ingested chicken feces 2 ± 1.4 times in 6 hours. Hand washing with soap was not common and drinking water was contaminated with Escherichia coli in half (12 of 22) of the households. A one-year-old infant ingesting 1 gram of chicken feces in a day and 20 grams of soil from a laundry area of the kitchen yard would consume 4,700,000–23,000,000 and 440–4,240 E. coli, respectively, from these sources. Besides standard wash and nutrition interventions, infants in low-income communities should be protected from exploratory ingestion of chicken feces, soil, and geophagia for optimal child health and growth.
