Assessment of percent positive agreement between fluorescent marker and ATPase for environmental cleaning monitoring during sequential application in an intensive care unit

摘要

Terminal room cleaning is critical in preventing pathogen transmission; however, the optimal cleaning effectiveness assessment modality is still being investigated. We sequentially compared cleanliness assessment agreement between a fluorescent marker and an adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence method, finding no significant differences between modalities.
