Abstract
In this study, the effect
 of stitch types (those commonly used in apparel production) on antibacterial
 activity was investigated. Determination of best stitch types through hygienic
 environments, where dangerous situations exist such as infection was intended.
 For this purpose, the antibacterial
 activity of various stitches was tested within the framework of the ASTM E2149 standard. Bleached reusable clinical
 aprons` fabrics, those comprising 65% polyester – 35% viscon mixture were named as alpaca weave
 fabric. Onto these alpaca fabrics, 3
 different stitches with various yarns (3 threads overlock + chain stitch, lockstitch
 with lap felled seam and 5 threads overlock) were applied.  Evaluation of findings showed that there are
 no significant differences according to stitch types.
