Sporicidal disinfectants are necessary to control Clostridioides difficile and Candida auris. Novel application methods such as electrostatic sprayers may increase disinfection effectiveness. We employed a standardized protocol to assess three sporicidal disinfectants: electrolyzed water (EW), sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) and peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide (PAA/H2O2).

: Health care-associated infection (HAI) is a common adverse event affecting patient safety. This review aims to (1) establish evidence for the impact of certified infection prevention and control (CIC) specialists on infection prevention and patient safety in acute care settings and (2) summarize study design and statistical modeling used for impact assessment to inform future studies.

Background: Escherichia coli sequence type (ST) ST131, with its emergent resistance-associated H30Rx, H30R1, and C1-M27 clonal subsets, accounts for the greatest share of extraintestinal E. coli infections and most extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli.Methods: We characterized and compared consecutive E. coli urine isolates from two geographically distinct medical centers in Minneapolis, Minnesota (n=172) and Boston, Massachusetts (n=143) for ESBL phenotype, CTX-M-type ESBL genes, phylogenetic groups, selected ST131 subclones, and 40 extraintestinal virulence genes.
