Abstract

Precise modeling of dry surface biofilms in hospitals is critical for understanding their role in hospital-acquired infection transmission and surface contamination. Using a representative culture condition which includes a nutrient source is key to developing a phenotypically accurate biofilm community. This will enable accurate laboratory testing of cleaning products and their efficacy against dry surface biofilms.
