Table 1 Random environmental surface ATP bioluminescence levels during once daily versus every 8-h environmental disinfection protocols during the Enterococcus faecium outbreak in NICU subunit A (Intervention 1)

From: Using adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence level monitoring to identify bacterial reservoirs during two consecutive Enterococcus faecium and Staphylococcus capitis nosocomial infection outbreaks at a neonatal intensive care unit

  1. All surfaces with ≥ 100 RLU/100 cm2 after disinfection were considered contaminated and thus re-cleaned
  2. ATP adenosine triphosphate; NICU neonatal intensive care unit; RLU relative light units
