Article Synopsis
- Environmental contamination in hospitals can lead to infections caused by multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO), prompting a study on the effectiveness of hybrid hydrogen peroxide™ (HHP™) fogging in reducing bioburden in critical care patient rooms.
- The study involved sampling for contamination before and after cleaning practices, including the use of HHP fogging, revealing a significant 98% reduction in aerobic colony counts (ACC) and elimination of harmful bacteria like MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa after fogging.
- Results suggest that HHP fogging is a highly effective method for cleaning hospital surfaces, potentially improving infection control protocols in critical care settings.
