Daily disinfection of high-touch surfaces in isolation rooms to reduce contamination of healthcare workers' hands

Sirisha Kundrapu et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

In a randomized nonblinded trial, we demonstrated that daily disinfection of high-touch surfaces in rooms of patients with Clostridium difficile infection and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization reduced acquisition of the pathogens on hands after contacting high-touch surfaces and reduced contamination of hands of healthcare workers caring for the patients.
