Enhancing bedding hygiene in long-term care facilities: investigating the impact of multilevel antimicrobial polymers (MAP-1) on bacterial and MDRO reduction
The study establishes the bactericidal efficacy of MAP-1 on standard bedsheets, showcasing its potential in diminishing total bacterial counts and MRSA contamination. These results hold promise for enhancing infection control practices and promoting improved sanitary conditions within healthcare settings.
