10 FACT FILES: C. Diff Overview What Is Clostridium difficile (C. Diff)? Results Of Contracting C. Diff? C. difficile is a spore-forming, gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that produces two exotoxins: toxin A and toxin B. It is a common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). Watery diarrhea Fever Loss of appetite Nausea Abdominal pain/tenderness Potentially death SPORES VEGETATIVE C. Diff Spore vs. C. Diff Vegetative What s The Difference? Vegetative C. Diff bacteria is in a growth and reproductive state. When vegetative cells are subjected to environmental stresses they eventually die. Some vegetative bacteria, such as C. Diff, can survive environmental stress by forming spores. C. Diff bacteria produces spores as a defense mechanism. C. Diff spores have thick walls and are very resistant to high temperatures, humidity, and other unfavorable conditions. Spores are dormant (not growing or reproducing) while subjected to environmental stress. Spores contain a complete set of the genetic materials from the vegetative bacteria cell. When there is no longer environmental stress, spores are capable of reverting back (germination) to a vegetative cell, at which time growth and reproduction can resume Whereas chemical disinfection may easily kill vegetative bacteria, killing their spores is usually extremely difficult. Currently the EPA does not allow C. diff spore efficacy claims for non-sterilant products. To learn more about C diff, contact your Clorox Sales Rep.
11 FACT FILES: C. Diff Overview CDC-Recommended Cleaning & Disinfecting Strategy To Control C. Diff Ensure adequate cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces and reusable devices, especially items likely to be contaminated with feces and surfaces that are touched frequently. Use an EPA-registered hypochlorite-based disinfectant for environmental surface disinfection after cleaning in accordance with label instructions; generic sources of hypochlorite (e.g., household chlorine bleach) also may be appropriately diluted and used. Note: Alcohol-based disinfectants are not effective against C. difficile and should not be used to disinfect environmental surfaces. How Can Surfaces Be Effectively Cleaned & Disinfected Against C. Diff? Hypochlorite-based disinfectants have been used with some success for environmental surface disinfection in those patient-care areas where surveillance and epidemiology indicate ongoing transmission of C. difficile. Note: EPA-registered hospital disinfectants are recommended for general use whenever possible in patient-care areas. At present there are no EPA-registered products with specific claims for inactivating C. difficile spores, but there are a number of registered products that contain hypochlorite. To learn more about C diff, contact your Clorox Sales Rep.
12 FACT FILES: Glucometers What Is A Glucometer? A small, portable machine that can be used to check blood glucose concentrations. After pricking the skin with a lancet or needle, a drop of blood is placed on a test strip in the machine. The meter (or monitor) soon displays the blood glucose concentration as a number on the meter's digital display. Average cost of a glucometer = $30-50 Average size of a glucometer = 2 x 3 x 1 Examples of common glucometers used in healthcare Clorox Commercial Solutions Clorox Germicidal Wipes Bleach-based germicidal wipe EPA-registered disinfectant Meets OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard Ready-to-use wipe provides 1:10 bleach dilution Provides 27 different kill claims, including: Hepatitus B HIV-1 To learn more about Clorox Germicidal Wipes and Glucometers, contact your Clorox Sales Rep.
13 FACT FILES: Glucometers Recommended Cleaning & Disinfecting Strategy For Glucometers The CDC states that Hepatitus B Virus can survive for at least one week in dried blood on environmental surfaces or on contaminated instruments. The following recommendations provide the guidance for cleaning and decontamination of glucometers that may be contaminated with blood and body fluids. Recommendations: 1. Clean glucometer surface when visible blood or bloody fluids are present by wiping with a cloth dampened with soap and water to remove any visible organic material. 2. If no visible organic material is present, disinfect after each use the exterior surfaces following the manufacturer s directions using a cloth/wipe with either an EPA-registered detergent/germicide with a tuberculocidal or HBV/HIV label claim, or a dilute bleach solution of 1:10 (one part bleach to 9 parts water) to 1:100 concentration. Additional Information: Directions for glucometer disinfection vary between manufacturers and models within brands. Alcohol should never be used because it can damage the light emitting diodes (LED) readout, causing fogging of the plastic screens. EPA-registered Germicide Clorox Commercial Solutions Clorox Germicidal Wipes Many (glucometer) manufacturers do not recommend the use of quaternary ammonium compounds because of the corroding effects on metal parts. All manufacturers caution that having the cloth too saturated could allow liquid to get inside the glucometer and cause damage. Screens and ports currently are not sealed on these devices. Therefore, using a bleach-only disinfecting wipe is less likely to cause damage. To learn more about Clorox Germicidal Wipes and Glucometers, contact your Clorox Sales Rep.
14 FACT FILES: Staph Overview What Is Staph? Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to simply as "staph," are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. Approximately 25% to 30% of the population is colonized (when bacteria are present, but not causing an infection) in the nose with staph bacteria. Staph bacteria are one of the most common causes of skin infections in the United States. Most of these skin infections are minor (such as pimples and boils) and can be treated without antibiotics. However, staph bacteria also can cause serious infections (such as surgical wound infections, bloodstream infections, and pneumonia). Results Of Contracting Staph Minor Skin Infections Pimples Boils Pneumonia Bloodstream Infections Surgical Wound Infections Potentially Death Staph Methods of Contraction Factors that have been associated with the spread of staph skin infections include: Close skin-to-skin contact Cuts or abrasions Poor hygiene Crowded living conditions Contaminated items or surfaces Weakened immune system Clorox Germicidal Bleach, Clorox Germicidal Spray, Clorox Germicidal Wipes Kill Staph on hard, nonporous surfaces Provide Hospital Grade disinfecting Contain the Power of Clorox bleach To learn more about Staph, contact your Clorox Sales Rep.
15 FACT FILES: MRSA Overview What Is MRSA? Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to common antibiotics, such as methicillin, oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. Consequently, MRSA infections can be far more difficult to treat quickly than traditional staph infections. MRSA occurs most frequently among persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities who have weakened immune systems. MRSA infections that are acquired by persons who have not been recently hospitalized or had a medical procedure (such as dialysis, surgery, catheters) are known as CA-MRSA (Community Associated MRSA) infections. CA-MRSA infections can be transmitted in settings such as workout facilities or locker rooms, and are usually manifested as skin infections, such as pimples and boils. Results Of Contracting MRSA Skin Infections Pimples Boils Pneumonia Bloodstream Infections Potentially death MRSA Methods of Contraction Factors that have been associated with the spread of MRSA skin infections include: Close skin-to-skin contact Cuts or abrasions Poor hygiene Crowded living conditions Contaminated items or surfaces Weakened immune system Clorox Germicidal Bleach, Clorox Germicidal Spray, Clorox Germicidal Wipes Kill MRSA on hard, nonporous surfaces Provide Hospital Grade disinfecting Contain the Power of Clorox bleach To learn more about MRSA, contact your Clorox Sales Rep.
