Impact of the probiotic‐based microbial cleaning on microbiota contaminating hospital surfaces.

A. PCHS effect on Gram‐positive (Staphylococcus spp.) and Gram‐negative (Enterobacteriaceae spp.) pathogens amounts on treated surfaces after 1, 2, 3, 4 months of PCHS continuous sanitation (T0 values are those obtained with chemical sanitation); results are expressed as median CFU counts per m2.

B. PCHS effect on the R genes of the whole residual microbiota (resistome) after 1–4 months of PCHS sanitation; results were obtained by PCR microarray and are expressed as of log fold change in R genes compared to the values detected at T0; mean values of the 4 months ± SD are reported.
