91、Assessing the efficacy of different microfibre cloths at removing surface micro-organisms associated with healthcare-associated infections 评估不同织物去除医院感染相关微生物的效果

Journal of Hospital Infection
Volume 78, Issue 3, July 2011, Pages 182-186
Summary
This study investigated the ability of 10 different microfibre cloths to remove microbial contamination from three surfaces commonly found in hospital settings (stainless steel, furniture laminate and ceramic tile), under controlled laboratory conditions. Tests were conducted using organisms known to cause healthcare-associated infections, i.e. meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridium difficile (in spore form) and Escherichia coli. For all the cloths tested, there was significant statistical evidence to suggest a difference in cleaning performance between them on first and single use (P < 0.001). However, the overall performance of the nine re-useable cloths did not differ in practice with differences in log10 reductions of <1. The performance of the disposable microfibre cloth was notably worse. The performance of all cloths decreased with repeated use on a succession of contaminated surfaces. After repeated washing, re-usable cloth performance improved at 75 washes, and reduced after 150 washes, although, in most instances, performance after 150 washes was better than at first wash. For all cloths, price was not an indication of performance. Based on these laboratory findings, it is concluded that use of the microfibre cloths investigated is an effective way to reduce the levels of MRSA, E. coli and C. difficile (in spore form) on a range of surfaces found in the clinical environment and could therefore be of benefit to these environments.

22、Impact of the amount of hand rub applied in hygienic hand disinfection on the reduction of microbial counts on hands 搓手面积对卫生手消毒中降低手部微生物的影响
  Journal of Hospital Infection
Volume 74, Issue 3, March 2010, Pages 212-218
Summary
Two different hand rubs were tested in order to investigate the minimum volume required for microbicidal efficacy according to the European Norm EN 1500; we also sought to determine whether there is a correlation with hand size. Eight male volunteers with big hands (mean 184 cm2) and eight female volunteers with significantly smaller hands (mean 148 cm2; P < 0.001) participated in our study. Application of 2 mL of both products (P) provided mean log10 reductions significantly smaller than those of the reference disinfectant (R) (product A: P = 3.34, R = 4.00, P = 0.001; product B: P = 3.37, R = 3.75, P = 0.022). Higher volumes (product A: 3 and 4 mL; product B: 2.5, 3 and 4 mL) ensured that the pass criteria of the European Norm (EN) 1500 were fulfilled. For both products log10 reductions increased with increasing product volume until a plateau was reached. For the smaller female hands, this plateau level was reached after applying 3 mL of product A and 2.5 mL of product B. The plateau level on male hands was observed after treating the hands with ≥4 mL of product A and 3 mL of product B. The increase in product volume also correlated with the decrease in the number of volunteers considering the product volume applied as insufficient. In conclusion, the applied volume for hygienic hand rub should not fall below 3 mL in order to achieve maximum benefit.
