    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2019 Sep 13; 69(Suppl 3):S228-S230. PubMed ID: 31517980.
    Abstract:
    We conducted a laboratory simulation to evaluate the contamination of environmental surfaces when using wipe vs spray methods of personal protective equipment (PPE) decontamination. We did not observe any environmental contamination with the bacteriophage MS-2 when bleach solution spray or wipes were used for PPE disinfection.
