"A common reason given for finding
environmental contamination with an MDRO (Multi–drug resistant organism)
was the lack of adherence to facility procedures for cleaning and
disinfection. In an educational and observational intervention which

enterococci (VRE) in a medical ICU. Therefore, monitoring for adherence
to recommended environmental cleaning practices is an important
determinant for success in controlling transmissions of MDRO’s and other
pathogens in the environment."
