Investigators assessed whether daily bathing with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate decreases the risk for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) transmission in an intensive care unit with increased VRE endemicity.
Researchers conducted a study to measure antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from healthcare workers’ cellphones.
