Ultraviolet (UV) light has destructive activity against pathogenic bacteria including Clostridioides difficile spores. Portable pulsed-xenon UV disinfecting devices were implemented for terminal room cleaning in 6 units of our academic hospital with high C. difficile infection (CDI) rates. CDI rates were measured in a 9-month period before and a 9-month period after device implementation. Despite documented administration of UV disinfection for 87% of terminal room cleaning, no impact on CDI rates was detected.
紫外线（UV）对包括艰难梭菌孢子在内的病原菌具有破坏活性。我们的学术医院中有6个科室艰难梭菌感染（CDI）率很高，已采用便携式脉冲氙气紫外线消毒设备进行终末病房清洁。在设备使用前的9个月期间和使用后的9个月期间对CDI率进行了测量。尽管记录显示87%的终末病房清洁进行了紫外线消毒，但未检测到对CDI率有影响。
