  • Title: Diagnostic assessment of different environmental cleaning monitoring methods.
    Author: Luick L, Thompson PA, Loock MH, Vetter SL, Cook J, Guerrero DM.
    Journal: Am J Infect Control; 2013 Aug; 41(8):751-2. PubMed ID: 23380380.
    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.
