Journal ArticleDOI
Guideline for isolation precautions in hospitals.
TL;DR: The revised guideline supersedes previous CDC recommendations for isolation precautions in hospitals and is intended primarily for use in the care of patients in acute-care hospitals, although some of the recommendations may be applicable for some patients receiving care in subacute-care or extended-care facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Killing of Fabric-Associated Bacteria in Hospital Laundry by Low-Temperature Washing
TL;DR: Low-temperature washing is as effective as high-tem temperature washing for eliminating pathogenic bacteria from hospital laundry, using a standard method to enumerate fabric-associated bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial survival in laundered fabrics.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that acceptable levels of survivors can be acheived in motel and hotel linens by an 8- to 10-min wash cycle at 54 C followed by adequate drying, however, it is recommended that a wash cycle with 60 C for 10 to 13 min be employed for linens in health care factilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriological quality of fabrics washed at lower-than-standard temperatures in a hospital laundry facility.
TL;DR: The effectiveness of bacterial density reduction at low temperature was augmented by increased concentrations of bleach, and successful low-temperature washing such as that shown here may save both energy and money for hospitals.
