Résumé
Hospital surfaces cleaning and disinfection is an essential part of Infection prevention and control. The upcoming multidrug resistant microorganisms make it key to use products able to eliminate them. A disinfectant should be, ideally, efficient against all types of microorganisms, harmless, environmental friendly and compliant with European efficacy standards and biocide regulations (528/2012 CE). At Clinica Universidad de Navarra we started using nebulised hypochlorous acid in March 2022, given that this product possess many of the previously mentioned characteristics. Prior to that, we wanted to confirm its effectiveness. For this, we cultured the higher risk contamination surfaces on isolated rooms, once the patient had been discharged, before and after the disinfection with nebulised hypochlorous acid.
