Life in the 21st Century Most of our time is spend indoors (80 - 90%) More people work in offices than ever before We travel more than ever before We spend less time cleaning than the last
generation (50% less than 50 years ago) We are less clean (e.g. laundry practices) We spend more time in public places We are more mobile and have more electronic
equipment (e.g. cell phones, ipods) We share more common surfaces (fomites) with
more people than ever before in history

Challenges in Infection Controlin the 21st Century
Infectious diseases are the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States today. They are 1st in the developing world.
Continued emergence and re-emergence of pathogens (SARS, MRSA, bird flu, etc)
A more susceptible population (aging population, cancer treatment) – 30 to 40% of
U. S. population at greater risk of serious illness and death)
![Page 4: ACTE HYGIENE IN THE 21st CENTURY](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103115/5583b864d8b42a36568b51f4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cleaning vs. HygieneCleaning is “the removal of
unwanted matter”Hygiene is “reducing the risks of
infection”Good hygiene had more impact
on human health than the development of vaccines and antibiotics
![Page 5: ACTE HYGIENE IN THE 21st CENTURY](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103115/5583b864d8b42a36568b51f4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Did you know??
80% of all common infections (colds, flu, diarrhea) can be spread through the environment (air, water, food, fomites)
~800,000,000 cases of respiratory and enteric infections per year in the U.S.
Unmarried males experience one cold per year and unmarried women 1.3. Couples with school children experience 2.3 colds per year each. School children experience an average of 3.5 colds per year.

What are Fomites?
Inanimate objects involved in the spread of disease
![Page 7: ACTE HYGIENE IN THE 21st CENTURY](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103115/5583b864d8b42a36568b51f4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hand vs. Sneeze
![Page 8: ACTE HYGIENE IN THE 21st CENTURY](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103115/5583b864d8b42a36568b51f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Role of fomites in transmission of a disease
Sick person sneezes, coughs and pathogens falls on fomite or get aerosolized.
Pathogen falls on fomites e.g. phone, computer
Person picks up pathogen through contaminated fomite. Person touches nose or eyes
with Contaminated fingers and Becomes infected with pathogen.

Coliform Bacteria and E. coli
Coliform bacteria and E. coli are found in feces and their presence on surfaces indicates……………..contamination by feces and the potential presence of disease causing microorganisms

• The kitchen is more heavily contaminated than the bathroom.
• Ordinary cleaning practices do little to reduce the microbial load.
• Risk of infection could be reduced by greater than 99.99% on cutting boards and kitchen counter- tops by use of hypochlorite cleaning products.

Reducing Risk of Infection from Fomites
Hand washing 30 to 50 % reduction in illness
Alcohol gel sanitizers 30 to 50% reduction Disinfection of fomite surfaces 50% reduction Use of bleach and hot water in laundering reduces risk of transmission

Results
• The number of people with viruses on their hands was reduced in half (50%). The occurrence of viruses in communal work areas was reduced by more than 80% after four hours and by 70%-100% after seven hours

Hand sanitizers
Just as good as hand washing for bacteria and viruses. New formulations more active against norovirus.
However, not effective against spores like C. difficile.
Proper hand washing is effective in removal of spores.

Antimicrobials Disinfectants
Chlorine• In use for more than 100 years• Wastewater treatment plant in Tucson, AZ uses more
chlorine in one day than a household uses in 10,000 years• Usually >99.999% reduction in target organisms
Quats• In use for more than 70 years
Some increase in tolerance by some bacteria, but still effective at normal use applications
Sanitizers Usually >99.9% of target organisms

Summary Fomites will continue play a major role in
disease transmission now and into the future
Good hygiene is not cleaning more, but smarter with a targeted use of disinfectants and cleaning tools
Germ exposure is more likely increasing not decreasing
No long term immunity for common infections
