چکیده
T he role of medical devices, such as bronchoscopes, in the transmission of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) has long been recognized, however, the evidence that environmental and medical equipment surfaces play a role in the transmission of HAIs has been weak. Studies have demonstrated that pathogens can be transmitted from surfaces to personnel and patients, and that these pathogens are not adequately removed by routine room cleaning. This has led to an increased focus on the importance of cleaning and disinfecting hospital surfaces and medical equipment and efforts to assess and improve the effectiveness of these practices.
