Bacterial Contamination Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Novel Agent to Decrease Contamination of Hospital Scrubs
This study will test if nurses wearing scrubs treated with an antimicrobial agent while performing patient care will: - Decrease the amount of bacterial contamination on scrubs at the end of a typical hospital shift during routine use after home laundering This study will gather information by obtaining swabs from scrubs treated with an antimicrobial and from non-treated scrubs.
The outcome of interest is the contamination of scrubs with Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species or Gram-negative bacteria as determined by surface swabs of healthcare worker scrubs after a full 8-hour shift. The outcomes will be analyzed both individually and collectively. Contamination will be defined as: - A swab that is determined to be positive for any Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus species, or Gram-negative bacteria after a hospital shift. ;
