Logarithmic bacterial colony-forming unit (CFU) reduction using a linear mixed model to adjust for covariates (including organism) classified by rank CFU. All 3 products were more effective at reducing bacterial CFU than water controls. When adjusting for initial inoculum, organism, and dry time, no difference in logarithmic bacterial CFU reduction was detected between the IPA wipe and the CHG/IPA wipe. However, higher bacterial CFU counts were noted when the IPA cap was used.
