Abstract

Abstract No-touch technologies could be useful to decontaminate shared toys in healthcare settings. A high-level disinfection cabinet and electrostatic sprayer were effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), bacteriophage MS2, and Clostridioides difficile spores on toys. An ultraviolet-C light box was less effective but reduced MRSA and bacteriophage MS2 by >2 log10.
