Study Summary

This trial tests if using disinfectant more often can reduce germs in the environment better than usual.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adult patients in the hospital who are on contact precautions for any reason or have a positive culture for certain infections upon room admission. They must have spent at least one night in their room and expect to stay another 48 hours.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if using Sani24, a disinfectant with persistent activity for 24 hours, can reduce environmental germs more effectively than standard EPA-registered disinfectants used in routine cleaning.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves environmental disinfection rather than direct patient treatment, side effects are not directly applicable to patients but may include potential respiratory or skin reactions among staff applying the product.
