Mobile handheld devices used in health care settings may become contaminated with health care-associated pathogens. We demonstrated that an enclosed ultraviolet-C radiation device was effective in rapidly reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and with longer exposure times, Clostridium difficile spores, on glass slides and reducing contamination on in-use mobile handheld devices.
医疗环境中使用的移动手持设备可能会被与医疗保健相关的病原体污染。我们证明,一种封闭式紫外线C辐射设备能有效快速减少载玻片上耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌数量,且暴露时间更长时还能减少艰难梭菌孢子数量,并能减少在用移动手持设备的污染。
