Efficacy and safety in environmental decontamination with fogging with superoxidized water XTERIDES(R) (SW) against Bacillus atrophaeus spores (BA) and Methicillin resistant staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE)

摘要

Background: Cleaning and disinfecting environmental surfaces in patient care are important in infection control programs. Housekeepers often fail in the cleaning of surfaces: not exceed 50%. Persistent gram+ and – resistant bacteria in environmental surfaces contribute to the transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens. SW are emerging as new technologies of disinfection and environmental decontamination compared to other methods and fogs: hydrogen peroxide (steams and gas); UV radiation. Those disadvantages: expensive, staff dedicated these tasks, cannot be used when rooms are occupied.
