| Abstract |
Studies have shown that environmental surface contamination plays a critical role in the nosocomial (hospital-acquired) transmission of microorganisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. Recognizing that many bacterial are increasingly antibiotic resistant, and that most hospital-acquired pathogens can survive on surfaces for months and act as a continuous source of pathogenic transmission, this experiment sought to discover a fabric that possessed antibacterial properties. |
