The notion that contaminated environments in hospital settings
significantly contribute to the risk of an individual acquiring an
infection while hospitalized is continuously gaining recognition by
the medical community. There is a clear correlation between the
environmental bioburden present in a clinical setting and the risk
of patients acquiring an infection. Thus using self-disinfecting
surfaces can be a very important adjunct in the fight against
nosocomial pathogens. This book reviews the increasing evidence
that contaminated non-intrusive soft and hard surfaces located in
the clinical surroundings are a source of nosocomial pathogens and
focuses on the utility of copper containing materials in reducing
bioburden and fighting hospital acquired infections. It also
reviews other biocidal surface alternatives and the economics of
using biocidal surfaces in a hospital environment. Finally, it
discusses the pros and cons of existent disinfection modalities
other than biocidal surfaces.
