Enhancing bedding hygiene in long-term care facilities: investigating the impact of multilevel antimicrobial polymers (MAP-1) on bacterial and MDRO reduction

Abstract Objective This study aims to assess the bactericidal efficacy of Multilevel Antimicrobial Polymer (MAP-1) on standard bedsheets in Long-term care facility (LTCF). The research quantifies total viable bacteria and MRSA counts and evaluates the percentage difference between treated and contro...
