Abstract

The control of infections and maintenance of hygienic conditions are of central importance and the insights gained through several investigations have practical significance today. In contrast, the maintenance of environment and surface disinfection is still controversial and demands novel disinfectants to meet the required criteria. The healthcare centers are fraught with various microorganisms and serve as a point source for multidrug resistance in patients which is more critical to treat. Therefore, it has begun a comprehensive plan in hospitals to focus on disinfection and maintenance of hygiene which is not always appreciated. The urgency to determine the effectiveness of disinfectants is often questioned. The review article shows how the existing problems could be solved by a systematic approach and reports on effective evaluation studies that meet the requirements.

Kurzfassung

Die Kontrolle von Infektionen und die Aufrechterhaltung hygienischer Bedingungen sind von zentraler Bedeutung, und die Erkenntnisse, die durch mehrere Untersuchungen gewonnen wurden, sind heute von praktischer Bedeutung. Im Gegensatz sind Umwelterhalt und Flächendesinfektion nach wie vor kontrovers und erfordern neuartige Desinfektionsmittel, um die erforderlichen Kriterien zu erfüllen. Die Gesundheitszentren sind mit verschiedenen Mikroorganismen behaftet und dienen als Ausgangspunkt für die Multiple-Wirkstoff-Resistenz bei Patienten, die für die Behandlung kritischer sind. Daher haben Krankenhäusern begonnen, umfassende Pläne zur Desinfektion und Pflege der Hygiene zu erstellen, die nicht immer begrüßt werden. Die Dringlichkeit, die Wirksamkeit von Desinfektionsmitteln zu bestimmen, wird häufig bezweifelt. Der Übersichtsartikel zeigt, wie die bestehenden Probleme durch einen systematischen Ansatz gelöst werden können, und berichtet über effektive Evaluierungsstudien, die die Anforderungen erfüllen.
