Rate of contamination of hospital privacy curtains in a burns/plastic ward: A longitudinal study

Conclusions Patient privacy curtains became progressively contaminated with bacteria, including MRSA. Between days 10 and 14 after being hung, curtains showed increased MRSA positivity. This may represent an opportune time to intervene, either by cleaning or replacing the curtains.
