Bactericidal Action of the Reactive Species Produced by Gas-Discharge Nonthermal Plasma at Atmospheric Pressure: A Review
TL;DR: A review of the major reactive species generated by nonthermal plasma at atmospheric pressure and the known reactions of these with biological molecules is presented in this article, where the role of ions and reactive gas species in decontamination is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Airborne Transmission of Infection in Hospital Buildings: Fact or Fiction?
TL;DR: This paper investigates the airborne spread of infection in hospital buildings, and evaluates the extent to which it is a problem, and concludes that although contact-spread is the principle route of transmission for most infections, the contribution of airborne micro-organisms to thespread of infection is likely to be greater than is currently recognised.
Journal Article
The transmission of tuberculosis in confined spaces: an analytical review of alternative epidemiological models.
TL;DR: Gammiatoni and Nucci's generalised formulation is shown to be the most suitable for modelling airborne transmission in ventilated spaces and it is subsequently used in a parametric study to evaluate the effect of physical and environmental factors on the rate of disease transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ventilation of multiple-bed hospital wards: Review and analysis
TL;DR: The clinical role of general ward ventilation may have been underestimated and that through improved ward ventilation, it may be possible to reduce environmental contamination and thus reduce nosocomial infection rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerial Dissemination of Clostridium difficile spores

TL;DR: This pilot study produced clear evidence of sporadic aerial dissemination of spores of a clone of C. difficile, a finding which may help to explain why CDAD is so persistent within hospitals and difficult to eradicate.
