MDROs (Multidrug-resistant organisms) and Cleaning
"A common reason given for finding environmental contamination with an MDRO (Multidrug-resistant organism) was the lack of adherence to facility procedures for cleaning and disinfection ... monitoring for adherence to recommended environmental cleaning practices is an important determinant for success in controlling transmission of MDROs and other pathogens in the environment."
