Effect of disinfectant on log10 reduction of viable Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumoniae on NC internal surfaces + valve effluent following valve activation. AS-S, alcohol scrubbing, Staph. epidermidis-contaminated NC; AS-K, alcohol scrubbing, Kl. pneumoniae-con-taminated NC; PS-S, povidone-iodine scrubbing, Staph. epidermidis-contaminated NC; PS-K, povidone-iodine scrubbing, Kl. pneumoniae-contaminated NC; CS-S, chlorhexidine gluconate + isopropanol scrubbing, Staph. epidermidis-contaminated NC; CS-K, chlorhexidine gluconate + isopropanol scrubbing, Kl. pneumoniae-contaminated NC. Error bars, ±1 standard deviation. AS-S, PS-S, n = 10; CS-S, n = 9; AS-K, PS-K, CS-K, n = 3. *, P < 0·05, T-test only.
