Hard Surface Biocontrol in Hospitals Using Microbial-Based Cleaning Products
BACKGROUND Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are one of the most frequent complications occurring in healthcare facilities. Contaminated environmental surfaces provide an important potential source for transmission of many healthcare-associated pathogens, thus indicating the need for new and sustainable strategies. AIM This study aims to evaluate the effect of a novel cleaning procedure...
متن کاملEvaluating the Cleaning Program Efficacy in ICU Ward of General Hospital Using Visual and Microbial Approaches
Background & Aims of the Study: Hospital infectious is one of the major causes of mortality among the hospitalized cases. The interior environment status of hospitals has the important rule in microbial transmission. Translocation of the infectious agents may be essentially due to contacts between patients and contaminated interior environment. This work was performed to ...
متن کاملBacteriophage biocontrol in animals and meat products
Since their discovery almost a century ago, bacterial viruses (bacteriophages or 'phages') have been used to prevent and treat a multitude of bacterial infections (phage therapy: PT). In addition, they have been the basis for many advances in genetics and biochemistry. Phage therapy was performed on human subjects in the United States, Europe and Asia in the few decades following their discover...
متن کاملHow do we assess hospital cleaning? A proposal for microbiological standards for surface hygiene in hospitals.
Increasing numbers of hospital-acquired infections have generated much attention over the last decade. The public has linked the so-called 'superbugs' with their experience of dirty hospitals, but the precise role of cleaning in the control of these organisms in unknown. Hence the importance of a clean environment is likely to remain speculative unless it becomes an evidence-based science. This...
متن کاملCleaning and surface properties
Principles of precision cleaning for ultra high vacuum applications are reviewed together with the techniques for the evaluation of surface cleanliness. Methods to verify the effectiveness of cleaning procedures are discussed. Examples are presented to illustrate the influence of packaging and storage on the recontamination of the surface after cleaning. Finally, the effect of contamination on ...
