Altra offers a selection of disinfectants, including a disinfectant that kills Clostridioides difficile spores and Candida auris, and multiple disinfectants that kill MRSA.
Researchers in the Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System conducted a study about the spread of infection in the rooms of 17 newly admitted patients. Before the patients were admitted, each room was thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Within 24 hours nearly 50% of the rooms tested positive for MRSA and 58% of rooms contained MRSA, Clostridioides difficile, and Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) pathogens.*
