Assessment of hospital daily cleaning practices using ATP bioluminescence in a developing country
Visual assessment of surfaces may not be enough to document the level of cleanliness in the hospital setting. It is necessary to introduce quantitative methods to document the results of this practice. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of hospital terminal cleaning procedures, using an adenosine t...
