This comprehensive review examines the nature, extent, and clinical significance of microbial contamination in home-use medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, and personal care products, identifying common patterns and prevention strategies across product categories. Literature searches of PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar identified studies examining secondary contamination of consumer-use products applied to skin and mucous membranes. Five categories were analyzed: medicines (eye drops, nasal irrigation devices), medical devices (nebulizers, breast pumps), infant care equipment (feeding bottles, pacifiers), cosmetics (mascara, lipsticks, eyeliners), and personal care products (contact lens cases, toothbrushes). Results showed that contamination rates ranged from 2 to 100% across products despite quality control and stringent regulation oversights. The predominant microbial contaminants were\n                    <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Enterobacter<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp.,\n                    <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , fungi, and molds. Biofilm formation was ubiquitous across nebulizers, contact lens cases, and feeding equipment, despite reported compliance with manufacturer instructions. Vulnerable individuals, including immunocompromised individuals, neonates, and elderly persons, are exposed to serious risk, including keratitis, respiratory exacerbations, and neonatal sepsis. These findings indicate that post-marketing contamination represents a critical regulatory gap between manufacturing controls and home-use. Addressing this hazard requires integrated strategies, including innovative product designs, antimicrobial surface technologies, standardized evidence-based hygiene protocols, post-market surveillance systems, and targeted public health interventions, accounting for socioeconomic barriers and health literacy disparities.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2026.1836448","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]],"date-time":"2026-05-21T06:12:20Z","timestamp":1779343940000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Microbial contamination of medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, child and personal care products: a comprehensive review of secondary contamination risks in home-use settings"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Katia","family":"Iskandar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, Lebanese International University","place":["Beirut, Lebanon"]},{"name":"Department of Health and Social Work, School of Public Health, Lebanese University","place":["Fanar, Lebanon"]},{"name":"Center for Collaborative Research Initiatives in Public Health, Higher Institute of Public Health, Saint Joseph University of Beirut","place":["Beirut, Lebanon"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lo\u00efc","family":"Marchin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pylote SAS","place":["Dremil-Lafage, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Roques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de G\u00e9nie Chimique, CNRS, INPT, UPS, Facult\u00e9 de Pharmacie, Universit\u00e9 de Toulouse","place":["Toulouse, France"]},{"name":"ACM Pharma FONDEREPHAR","place":["Toulouse, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"244","article-title":"Microbiological profile of selected samples of\" Al-Kohl\" eye cosmetics in northern Jordanian provinces before and after use","volume":"187","author":"Abdelaziz","year":"1989","journal-title":"Zentralbl.
