Efficacy of the CHRONOlight biodynamic lighting system for control of nosocomial Gram-negative pathogens
CHRONOlight biodynamic lighting system is a novel broad-spectrum lighting prototype designed to effectively reduce the viability of gram-negative bacteria within short exposure times (30-300 seconds) through UV-C emission. This makes it a promising strategy for minimizing nosocomial infections in health care settings.
