Mathematically modeling the effect of touch frequency on the environmental transmission of Clostridioides difficile in healthcare settings
Mathematical Biosciences(2021)
摘要
Clostridioides difficile, formerly Clostridium difficile, is the leading cause of infectious diarrhea and one of the most common healthcare acquired infections in United States hospitals. C. difficile persists well in healthcare environments because it forms spores that can survive for long periods of time and can be transmitted to susceptible patients through contact with contaminated hands and fomites, objects or surfaces that can harbor infectious agents. Fomites can be classified as high-touch or low-touch based on the frequency they are contacted.
