Abstract
In a simultaneous assessment of 250 environmental surfaces after terminal cleaning using aerobic cultures as a gold standard, both fluorescent marker and an adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay system demonstrated better diagnosticity compared with subjective visual inspection. These results support the use of these environmental monitoring systems in the health care setting.Entities:
