MoWa: A Disinfectant for Hospital Surfaces Contaminated With Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) and Other Nosocomial Pathogens.

Introduction: strains, including methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive (MSSA), are a main cause of nosocomial infection in the world. The majority of nosocomial -infection are traced back to a source of contaminated surfaces including surgery tables. We assessed the efficacy of a mixture of levulinic acid (LA) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), hereafter called MoWa, to eradicate nosocomial pathogens from contaminated surfaces.
