There is ongoing research in healthcare aimed at identifying the role of the environment in Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI). Many academic researchers, infection control professionals and even the Centers for Disease Control, recognize that the patient environment plays a critical role in HAI acquisition and transmission. While antimicrobial products will not replace disinfection and cleaning practices, they have value as part of a systems approach to environmental cleanliness.
