Evaluation of Viral Surrogate Markers for Study of Pathogen Dissemination During Simulations of Patient Care.


ABSTRACT: During patient care simulations, cauliflower mosaic virus DNA and bacteriophage MS2 performed similarly as surrogate markers of pathogen dissemination. These markers disseminated to the environment in a manner similar to Clostridium difficile spores but were more frequently detected on skin and clothing of personnel after personal protective equipment removal.
