Cliniweave could cut MRSA

摘要

An antimicrobial technology that can be integrated into everything found within the hospital setting could dramatically reduce the spread of MRSA, according to new research.rnCliniweave technology has been studied at Imperial College London by micro-biologist Professor Mark Enright, who compared its effectiveness against three silver-based antimicrobial fabrics. The results showed that only Cliniweave-treated samples demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against high concentrations of MRSA, severely reducing bacterial numbers within just one hour.rnEnright added: "Our research indicates that Cliniweave is potently antibacterial; not only did it prove effective but it was also extremely fast acting. It is effective against hospital pathogens including MRSA, C. difficile and E. coli. Trials are underway torntest efficacy against other agents such as anthrax and SARS."
