Abstract

In an observational study, we demonstrated that hospitalized patients frequently had direct or indirect interactions with medical equipment and other fomites that are shared among patients, and these items were often contaminated with health care-associated pathogens. There is a need for protocols to ensure routine cleaning of shared portable equipment. Published by Elsevier Inc.
