Table 2 Random environmental surface ATP results during E. faecium/S. capitis outbreak in NICU-A after changing the disinfection method from Biospot® to Clinelle® and Safecide® (Intervention 2)

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
