Does improving surface cleaning and disinfection reduce health care-associated infections? Curtis J. Donskey, MD American Journal of Infection Control Volume 41, Issue 5, Pages S12-S19 (May 2013) DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2012.12.010 Copyright © 2013 Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) on a bone marrow transplant unit during periods when different disinfectant products were used (adapted from Mayfield et al33). The 4 periods included the following: (1) period 1: quaternary ammonium disinfectant; period 2: bleach containing 5,000 parts per million hypochlorite used for CDI rooms; period 3: quaternary ammonium disinfectant used daily for all rooms in response to an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci; and period 4: reinstitution of bleach for CDI rooms. Quat, quaternary ammonium disinfectant. American Journal of Infection Control 2013 41, S12-S19DOI: (10.1016/j.ajic.2012.12.010) Copyright © 2013 Terms and Conditions
