DOI: 10.1188/19.cjon.482-487

Abstract: BACKGROUND Nosocomial Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections are adverse incidents that affect immunocompromised hospitalized patients. High-touch surface areas within the patient's environment are frequently overlooked and are a source of microscopic bacterial transmission. OBJECTIVES This… read more here.
