Popis: To the Editor—We thank Eric Schlote, CEO of Synexis Biodefense Systems, for his letter regarding our article, “Evaluation of dilute hydrogen peroxide technology for continuous room decontamination of multidrug-resistant organisms.”1 As noted in our paper, hospital room environmental surfaces are frequently contaminated and serve as a source for healthcare MDROs. Contact with these contaminated surfaces may result in hand or glove contamination of healthcare personnel that can be transferred to patients. Development of a validated effective method for continuous room disinfection method would provide an important tool for decreasing surface contamination with MDROs and healthcare-associated pathogens.
