Far-UVC light (222 nm) efficiently inactivates clinically significant antibiotic-resistant bacteria on diverse material surfaces.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, primarily attributed to the widespread use of antibiotics. This has resulted in heightened mortality rates, morbidity, and exorbitant healthcare costs associated with antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. In order to mitigate the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, environmental disinfection plays a crucial role. Ultraviolet radiation C (UVC) light disinfection has emerged as a potent technique to limit the transmission of nosocomial pathogens and prevent healthcare-associated infections. Different types of high-touch surfaces were used. A serial disinfected experiment with different 222 nm UVC dosages was conducted on clinically isolated antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including methi
