Ultraviolet light disinfection has recently been used as an adjunct to terminal cleaning, and many studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing environmental contamination [3] [4] [5] and healthcare-associated transmission of these pathogens [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] . There are a number of studies which have demonstrated the effect of ultraviolet light disinfection in reducing environmental microbiological contamination [3] [4] [5] and healthcare-acquired infections by MRSA [6, 7] , VRE [7, 8] and Clostridioides difficile [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] . ./cache/cord-004239-cu6atqvr.txt ./txt/cord-004239-cu6atqvr.txt
