This research was carried out on a number of employee-owned smartphones in the Chicago office. The results showed that more than half of the employee-owned mobile office contains E. coli. This is a proof that the office workers often ignore to wash their hands after using the toilet. In addition to E. coli, found 56 pathogenic bacteria that breed on the smartphone screen.
