CoP webinar question

[Carrie Spinks]

Question brought forward from Environmental Services IPC webinar:

I’m seeking recommendation for environmental cleaning of a room occupied by a patient with VRE Van A+ or linezolid resistance. Do you suggest using bleach cleaning and a nocospray (spray disinfector), or is bleach cleaning sufficient?

Thank you

Rosanna
