"In conclusion, a single treatment from the Anti-Germ Dome yielded a large reduction in the viable bacteria present. The Anti-Germ Dome was evaluated against 3 highly drug-resistant isolates that can be found in healthcare facilities, an ESBL-producing E. coli, a VRE, and a MRSA. The evaluated organisms were tested at a bacterial density of ~ 1 x 10⁷ CFU on each coupon, which is 9.68 cm² surface area, which is around 1 x 10⁶ CFU/cm². A previous study found that various surfaces in an acute-care hospital had between 2 and 10 CFU/cm² (3). Another study found that 19 door handles in 3 different hotels had an average of 5 .7 CFU/cm² (4). This means our laboratory setting theoretically had ~ 100,000x higher viable bacterial counts depending on sampling conditions, than the real-world scenario found in these studies (3,4). Despite being evaluated against higher bacterial burden than those found in typical hospital settings against highly drug resistant organisms, the Anti-Germ Dome still had large reductions of all three organisms after a single treatment cycle."
