Disinfection of Hospital Rooms Contaminated With Vancomycin-Resistant <i>Entemcocms faecium</i>

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: ABSTRACT Sixteen percent of hospital room surfaces remained colonized by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) after routine terminal disinfection. Disinfection with a new "bucket method" resulted in uniformly negative cultures. Conventional cleaning took an average of 2.8 disinfections to eradicate VRE from a hospital room, while only one cleaning was required with the bucket method.
