Surface Micropattern Resists Bacterial Contamination Transferred by Healthcare Practitioners
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are responsible for clinical complications with an estimated 6.1% increase in attributable deaths [1,2]. HAIs increased the length of stay in a hospital from 5.9 to 9.6 days based on one study of over 1,250 patients [1]. Concomitantly, estimated healthcare costs double for patients with HAIs [1,3]. As many as 27% of hospital ward patient rooms are contaminate...

متن کاملAssessment of Bacterial Contamination of the External Surface of Anesthetic Cartridges
Objective: Infection control is one of the important aspects in dentistry. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is one of the most sensitive fields in dentistry in which infection control is important a sterile surgical set is imperative. Manufacturers only guarantee the sterility of the anesthetic not the sterility of its outer surface. They recommend alcohol to sterile the outer surface (especially...
متن کاملSurface micropattern reduces colonization and medical device-associated infections.
PURPOSE Surface microtopography offers a promising approach for infection control. The goal of this study was to provide evidence that micropatterned surfaces significantly reduce the potential risk of medical device-associated infections. METHODOLOGY Micropatterned and smooth surfaces were challenged in vitro against the colonization and transference of two representative bacterial pathogens...
متن کاملBacterial contamination ofhome nebulisers
We have shown that the bacteriostatic and bactericidal agents edetic acid and benzaLkonium chloride present in nebuliser solutions may cause bronchoconstriction when inhaled by asthmatic patients and suggested that this may account for some of the pardoxical bronchoconstriction that occurs after inhalation ofnebulised bronchodilator aerosols. ' As antibacterial agents may be removed from nebuli...
