Effectiveness of an antimicrobial polymer to decrease contamination of environmental surfaces in the clinical setting.

Kerri A Thom1, Harold C Standiford, J Kristie Johnson, Nader Hanna, Jon P Furuno.   

Abstract

We performed a real-world, controlled intervention to investigate use of an antimicrobial surface polymer, MSDS Poly, on environmental contamination. Pathogenic bacteria were identified in 18 (90%) of 20 observations in treated rooms and 19 (83%) of 23 observations in untreated rooms (P = .67). MSDS Poly had no significant effect on environmental contamination.
