Abstract
Background: Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is one of the important causes of infectious disease deaths in the United States. Healthcare facilities are implementing varying approaches to decrease high rates of hospital-acquired (HA) C. diff such as hand hygiene auditing, validation reports by fluorescent tagging of high-touch surfaces including bed rails, call buttons and bathroom items after terminal cleaning of rooms, and use of Ultraviolet (UV) robots. The impact of the use of UV robots on the rates of HA- C. diff in our tertiary level care University hospital in six units where the UV robots are used is evaluated in this study.
