Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic misuse in healthcare and agriculture is leading to increased antibiotic resistance in human pathogens, specifically MRSA and S. aureus.
- A study tested the effectiveness of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) on different strains of these bacteria using varying doses.
- Results indicated that different strains require different UVGI doses for effective disinfection, with statistically significant variances between MRSA and methicillin-susceptible S. aureus.
