Impact of environmental cleaning on the colonization and infection rates of multidrug - resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in patients within the intensive care unit in a tertiary hospital

Such an invisible fluorescence labelling is an effective and convenient method to continuously monitor cleanness of medical environment within hospitals.
