We sought to determine whether combined chemical, mechanical, and heat cleaning was superior to standard cleaning for the decontamination of 32 sink and shower drains harboring carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs). Of 16 intervention drains, 10 (63%) were decontaminated until day 7 versus 1 (5%) of 16 comparator drains (P = .002). Intensive cleaning may be useful if administered repeatedly in drain-associated CPO outbreaks.
我们旨在确定联合化学、机械和热清洁是否优于标准清洁，以去除 32 个含有产碳青霉烯酶生物体 (CPO) 的水槽和淋浴排水口的污染物。在 16 个干预排水口中，有 10 个（63%）在第 7 天之前得到了清洁，而 16 个对照排水口中只有 1 个（5%）得到了清洁（P=.002）。如果在与排水口相关的 CPO 暴发中反复进行强化清洁，可能会有用。
