Efficacy of continuous UV-C <sub>222</sub> exposure of <i>Candida auris,</i> methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus,</i> and T1 bacteriophage at two soil levels in hospital patient rooms
In patient rooms, continuous UV-C<sub>222</sub> exposure showed decreased concentrations of <i>C. auris</i> (low and high soil), MRSA (low soil), and T1 (low soil). Studies are needed to determine benefits in occupied settings.
