Part A: Challenge testing microbial loads on treated and untreated soft medical fabrics/ Part B: Challenge testing Marlux Medical silver embedded versus untreated privacy curtains

Part A: Background. It is recognised that traditional linen curtains are fomites for infectious disease in healthcare environments, to which it is likely that these curtains contribute to the astronomical cost of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) every year. Therefore, to address this issue...
