Activity of a dry mist-generated hydrogen peroxide disinfection system against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of a dry mist-generated
hydrogen peroxide (DMHP) system (Sterinis; Gloster Sante Europe, Labege cedex, France)
against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Acinetobacter baumannii.
METHODS: McFarland 0.5 suspensions of 2 test bacteria, either pure or containing 5%
sterile serum, were prepared and inoculated onto sterile stainless steel disks. Each disk in a
Petri dish—with the Petri dish cover either closed or open—was placed in different locations …
