Prevention of nosocomial infection includes, along with other factors, measures aimed at maintenance of aseptic and antiseptic conditions by means of modern effective antiseptics and disinfectants. Efficacy of skin antiseptics (plivasept tincture, plivasept blue, plivasept foamy), disinfectants for instruments, surfaces, equipment (plivasept with and without PAV, aldesol, isosan G) manufactured by Pliva (Croatia) is assessed at Surgical Center. All these agents are recommended for improving the epidemiological situation in intensive care departments.

Effects of UVC doses on the removal of antimicrobial resistance elements from secondary treated sewage.

Programa de Pós-Graduação Em Saneamento, Meio Ambiente E Recursos Hídricos, Departamento de Engenharia Sanitária E Ambiental, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Av. Antonio Carlos 6627, Belo Horizonte, MG, 31270-901, Brazil.
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) currently face major challenges toward the removal of microcontaminants and/or microbial matrices and consequently play an important role in the potential dissemination of biological resistance in freshwater. The ultraviolet (UV) system is a tertiary treatment strategy increasingly applied worldwide, although many studies have shown that disinfected effluent can still contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes. Therefore, to better understand the effects of UV radiation doses on the removal of all resistance elements (antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and antibiotic resistance genes), the present study was designed using a pilot-scale photoreactor.

The control of waterborne diseases through water disinfection is a significant advancement in public health. However, the disinfection process generates disinfection by-products (DBPs), including trihalomethanes (THMs), which are considered to influence the occurrence of cancer. This analysis aims to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between blood concentrations of THMs and cancer.

Slaughterhouse environments are prone to microbial contamination, influenced by factors like set-up, size and area as well as disinfection practices. Thus, effective control measures are crucial to prevent the spread of pathogens and their contaminant genes (antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors) throughout the food chain. In the present study, we assessed the microbial contamination in environmental surfaces of three slaughterhouses located in the Jaén province (Spain).

Background: Chlorination is a widespread method for drinking water disinfection that has the drawback of introducing potentially carcinogenic chemical by-products to drinking water.
Objective: We systematically evaluated the epidemiologic evidence of exposure to trihalomethane (THM) disinfection by-products and risk of cancer.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies that assessed the association of exposure to residential concentrations of THMs with risk of cancer in adults.
