Article Synopsis
- This literature scoping review evaluates current infection prevention and control (IPC) methods for viral-mediated gene therapies and suggests a specific IPC strategy for healthcare settings.
- A team of experts analyzed articles published since 2009, focusing on five types of viral vectors, and found that specific disinfectants effectively inactivate some viruses, while others lacked sufficient research, especially on surface disinfection.
- The review emphasizes the urgent need for established IPC methods due to the rise of viral-mediated therapies, ultimately recommending a 1:10 solution of sodium hypochlorite for effective germicidal activity in clinical settings.
Background: Mycobacterium porcinum is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) identified in potable water. The identification and clinical impact of M. porcinum in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has not been described.
