Probiotic bacteria and biosurfactants for nosocomial infection control: a hypothesis.
The adaptation of strict hygienic practices by healthcare personnel as well as the implementation of appropriate cleaning and disinfection measures form the basis of infection control policies. However, nosocomial infections constitute a considerable problem even in hospitals with meticulous infection control programmes. This should prompt biomedical researchers to evaluate the efficacy and saf...
متن کاملClinical, Laboratory and Microbiological Characteristics of Patients with Nosocomial Infections Admitted to Sari Fatemeh Zahra Heart Hospital, 2018-2019
Background and purpose: The term nosocomial infection refers to any type of infection that does not exist at the time of hospital admission and occurs within 48-72 hours after admission or up to 3 days to 6 weeks after discharge, or 30 days after surgery. Nosocomial infections can cause side effects, mortality and reduce quality of life in patients. So, so we decided to study the clinical, labo...
متن کاملSurface microbes in the neonatal intensive care unit: changes with routine cleaning and over time.
Premature infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are highly susceptible to infection due to the immaturity of their immune systems, and nosocomial infections are a significant risk factor for death and poor neurodevelopmental outcome in this population. To investigate the impact of cleaning within a NICU, a high-throughput short-amplicon-sequencing approach was used to profile bacteri...
متن کاملHard Surface Biocontrol in Hospitals Using Microbial-Based Cleaning Products
BACKGROUND Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are one of the most frequent complications occurring in healthcare facilities. Contaminated environmental surfaces provide an important potential source for transmission of many healthcare-associated pathogens, thus indicating the need for new and sustainable strategies. AIM This study aims to evaluate the effect of a novel cleaning procedure...
متن کاملDivergent opinions on surface disinfection: myths or prevention? A review of the literature
Virtually no prevention strategy in hospital hygiene has been the focus of such frequent controversial discussions as the role of surface disinfection. Set against that background, the Commission for Hospital Hygiene and Infection Prevention at the Robert Koch Institute founded a working group comprising members with divergent views of risk evaluation as regards the role of disinfection. This w...
