Abstract
Bacterial contamination of the contents of disposable plastic syringes was demonstrated experimentally after repeated refilling. Supporting evidence for this mechanism as a potential souerce of bacteraemia was obainted by a spot check of syringes used for repeated injections. It is recommended that disposable syringes should be discarded after a single injection.
