Factors involved in the aerosol transmission of infection and control of ventilation in healthcare premises
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the factors involved in the generation of an infectious aerosol, transmission of infectious droplets or droplet nuclei from this aerosol and the potential for inhalation of such droplets by a susceptible host, and make recommendations to improve the control of aerosol-transmitted infections in hospitals as well as in the design and construction of future isolation facilities.

Controlling Hospital-Acquired Infection: Focus on the Role of the Environment and New Technologies for Decontamination
TL;DR: Forthcoming evidence on the role of antimicrobial surfaces could supplement infection prevention strategies for health care environments, including those targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens.

How do we assess hospital cleaning? A proposal for microbiological standards for surface hygiene in hospitals
TL;DR: In this paper, a call for bacteriological standards with which to assess clinical surface hygiene in hospitals, based on those used by the food industry, is made, and the first standard concerns any finding of a specific "indicator" organism, the presence of which suggests a requirement for increased cleaning.

Inherent Antibacterial Activity of a Peptide-Based β-Hairpin Hydrogel
TL;DR: A hydrogel scaffold from the self-assembling peptide, MAX1, for tissue regeneration applications whose surface exhibits inherent antibacterial activity, and live−dead assays show that bacteria are killed when they engage the surface.
