Abstract

Environmental persistence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms in hospital environment is arduous to reduce or eliminate. Efficacy’s inconsistency characterizing manual disinfection that generates high levels of residual surface contamination compounds adversities in achieving reduction.

Highlights

  • Environmental persistence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms in hospital environment is arduous to reduce or eliminate

  • Hard surfaces of 20 hospital rooms occupied by patients affected by classic MDR bacteria prospectively sampled for contamination in 10 standardized high-touch points following patient’s discharge

  • Measurements taken after manual disinfection with active chlorine (2000 ppm), before micro-nebulization via HDM® and after it
