Abstract: BACKGROUND Biofilm-forming organisms can persist on surfaces in hospital clinical laboratories and potentially lead to nosocomial infections. Therefore, effective decontamination procedures are essential for reducing infections. In this study, we investigated an alternative to often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12879-018-2997-9
Abstract: BackgroundExpressed human milk (EHM) feed preparation areas represent a potential source of unintentional nosocomial infection. Daily disinfection of environmental surfaces remains an essential intervention to mitigate nosocomial infections. The inefficiency of conventional cleaning and disinfection… read more here.
