    Objective To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of antimicrobial peptide RP557 and its mechanism, and to evaluate its safety. Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of RP557 against various clinical isolates was determined using the microdilution broth method. The bactericidal mechanism of RP557 against Gram-negative bacteria was analyzed through time-kill assays, biofilm inhibition, outer and inner membrane disruption, and ion leakage detection. The safety of RP557 at the animal level was assessed through histopathological examination and hepatic and renal function tests. Results MIC values of RP557 were≤32 µg/mL against multidrug-resistant and hypervirulent Gram-negative and Gram-positive clinical isolates. Biofilm formation could be completely inhibited at 1×MIC. Treatment with 2×MIC induced a 1.5-fold increase in outer membrane disruption, 10-fold increase in inner membrane damage, and significant Na+/K+ leakage. No significant differences in hepatic/renal function indices or lung histopathology scores were observed in mice after 400 µg/mL aerosol exposure compared to controls. Conclusion RP557 induces bacterial death through a dual-membrane disruption mechanism. At certain exposure doses, it shows no toxic side effects, highlighting its potential as a novel bactericidal agent.

    Objective To evaluate the dynamic disinfection efficacy of a 222 nm ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer on high-frequency contact surfaces and airborne bacteria in a respiratory intensive care unit (RICU). Methods Seven isolated rooms within the RICU of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang, China, were selected. Rooms were assigned to either a control group (Room 2, 4, 6) receiving routine cleaning and ventilation, or an intervention group (Room 1, 3, 5, 7) receiving additional disinfection using a 222 nm UV sterilizer. Environmental samples were collected continuously for 3 days, with air and surface samples taken every 2 hours from 8:00 to 16:00 daily, totaling 1 050 samples. Bacterial colony counts and detection rates of Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) were measured. Results The intervention group showed significantly lower mean colony counts on both surfaces and in air samples compared to the control group (P<0.05). Surface bacterial load was reduced from (161.63±464.17) cfu/cm2 to (54.64±220.59) cfu/cm2, while airborne bacterial load decreased from (215.14±303.88) cfu/m2 to (150.65±106.52) cfu/m2. The detection rates of AB and KP also decreased significantly in both surface and air samples. Conclusion The 222 nm ultraviolet sterilizer demonstrates significant disinfecting efficacy in the RICU environment. It effectively reduces microbial contamination on surfaces and in the air. Notably, it exhibits more stable and sustained efficacy for air disinfection. This device serves as a robust supplementary measure to routine disinfection protocols.

    Objective To explore the application of ATP bioluminescence assay in monitoring the hygiene of various catering utensils and hand sanitation of staff in cafeterias. Methods From January to June 2023, ATP bioluminescence assay was used to assess the cleanliness of 283 disinfected catering utensils and staff hands in a tertiary hospital cafeteria. The specificity, sensitivity, and positive rates of ATP bioluminescence assay were compared with the "gold standard method" (coliform rapid detection paper strip method). Results Compared to the coliform rapid detection paper strip method, the ATP bioluminescence assay showed a lower positive rate (4.9% vs 12%), lower sensitivity (29%), high specificity (98%), and poor agreement between the two methods ( k value = 0.375). Conclusion ATP bioluminescence assay is significantly influenced by material properties and environmental factors in food hygiene supervision. Its application should be tailored based on the surrounding environment, sampled specimen types, and sampling sites.

    Objective To investigate the inactivation efficacy of electron beam irradiation at different doses against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, and poliovirus type I (PV-1) vaccine strain. Methods Stainless steel carriers loaded with the four indicator microorganisms were irradiated with electron beams at doses of 5, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 kGy (dose rate: 1 kGy/min; irradiation time: 5, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 min). Log reduction values (LRV) were calculated to evaluate microbial inactivation. Results After 25 kGy irradiation, LRVs for all four microorganisms reached ≥3.00. However, radiation resistance varied significantly: S. aureus and G. stearothermophilus required 20 and 25 kGy, respectively, and E. coli and PV-1 only required 15 kGy. Conclusion Electron beam irradiation can serve as an effective method for biosafety disinfection, though different microorganisms require different doses.

    Objective To observe the inactivation effect of commonly used chemical disinfectants on enterovirus 71 (EV-71), and provide reference for practical disinfection applications. Methods The virus inactivation test method was used to observe the effect of commonly used chemical disinfectants on inactivating EV-71. Results After being treated with 5 000 mg/L polyhexamethylene biguanide and 2 000 mg/L polyhexamethylguanidine hydrochloride for 10 min, the inactivation logarithmic values of EV-71 in suspension were 3.55 and 3.61, respectively. When treated with a chlorine-containing disinfectant with an available chlorine concentration of 200 mg/L for 1 min, EV-71 in suspension could be inactivated completely. When treated with 1 000 mg/L peracetic acid for 5 min and 10 g/L hydrogen peroxide for 10 min, the inactivation logarithmic values of EV-71 were all >4.0. Two kinds of quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants could not effectively inactivate EV-71 at the experimental concentrations. Conclusion Both chlorine-containing disinfectants and peroxide disinfectants can effectively inactivate EV-71, while guanidine disinfectants and quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants have poor inactivation effects on the virus under experimental conditions.

    Objective To investigate the infection characteristics and drug resistance of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate and analyze the characteristics and drug resistance of CRE infection in ICU patients of a hospital. Results A total of 968 strains of Enterobacteriaceae were detected from specimens of ICU inpatients in the hospital for five consecutive years, including 414 strains of CRE, accounting for 42.8% of the isolated strains. The CRE strains were mainly isolated from sputum, urine, and blood samples, with sputum samples accounting for as much as 76.8%. The proportion of Klebsiella pneumoniae detected in Enterobacteriaceae was as high as 95.4%, followed by Serratia marcescens (1.7%) and Escherichia coli (1.2%). The isolated strains were highly resistant to β - lactam and carbapenem antibiotics, but were sensitive to tigecycline and cefotaxime/avibactam. Conclusion The proportion of CRE detected in the specimens of ICU patients in this hospital is relatively high, indicating severe drug resistance. The intensity of the use of carbapenems should be strictly controlled and monitoring should be strengthened.

    Objective To evaluate the disinfection effect and mobility performance of an intelligent disinfection robot equipped with krypton chloride excimer photoelectric technology. Methods Laboratory disinfection tests and field applications were conducted to measure the ultraviolet irradiance of the equipment and its disinfection effect on Staphylococcus aureus contaminated stainless steel carriers. Mobility performance was assessed in a large sports venue. Results The intelligent disinfection robot consists of an excimer disinfection unit (rated power 100 W and 65 W, emitting 222 nm ultraviolet) and an autonomous robotic platform. Laboratory tests demonstrated a 99.99% average elimination rate of S. aureus on vertically placed stainless steel carriers (100 cm distance) after 10 min of irradiation. In field applications, the robot utilized LIDAR and navigation modules to achieve autonomous operation, patrolling, and obstacle avoidance. For areas≤10 m2, it automatically activated disinfection mode (30 min cycle) or standby based on human presence detection. For areas >10 m2, it performed autonomous path planning, multi-point disinfection, and auto-return functions at 0.1 m/s velocity, completing 60 m2 venue disinfection in approximately 25 min. Conclusion The intelligent disinfection robot exhibited excellent disinfection capability by using 222 nm ultraviolet radiation and demonstrated reliable autonomous navigation with static/dynamic obstacle recognition and avoidance capacities.

    Objective To identify the risks of nosocomial infection in the newly built hemodialysis centers of the healthcare consortium by applying the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method, and to explore the effect of prevention, control, and mastery of the risk points. Methods FMEA was used to identify the risks of nosocomial infection in dialysis centers, and 38 potential risk points in 6 categories were quantitatively analyzed. The key risk points with the value of risk priority index (RPN) were identified, and improvement interventions were formulated and implemented, then the effect of the interventions were evaluated. Results The FMEA method was applied to find 10 risk points in 4 nosocomial infection risk categories, namely, unreasonable building layout and insufficient facilities, inadequate disinfection and maintenance of new equipments, non-compliance of personnel training and management, and incorrect sampling of surveillance specimens, with RPN values >125. After implementing the intervention measures, including adjusting the bed spacing in the isolation treatment area for infectious diseases, changing the location of the medical waste disposal room, standardizing the sampling process, and strengthening training, the RPN values of the 10 risk points were all <125. Conclusion FMEA helps to timely identify the risks of hospital-acquired infections in the newly built hemodialysis centers of the medical consortium. These risks are controlled after intervention.

    Objective To investigate dental unit waterline (DUWL) contamination in oral healthcare institutions of Yangzhou City, and to observe the intervention effects of disinfection methods. Methods Water samples of DUWL dental hand pieces, air/water syringes, mouth rinse units, and scaler outlets from 16 institutions were collected, and tested for bacterial contamination. Field disinfection experiments were conducted to observe the bacterial control effect of 25 and 50 mg/L chlorine dioxide disinfectant alone and in combination with multi-enzyme detergent on DUWL. Results A total of 175 dental water samples were collected, with an average total qualified rate of 54.29%. The qualified rate of different types of water samples varied significantly ( $\chi$2=10.968, P=0.027), which the highest qualified rate was washing water (80.00%) and the lowest was dental cleaning water (37.93%). The qualified rate of stomatology department in medical institutions was higher than that of private dental clinics ($\chi$2=6.642, P=0.010). On Day 1 after disinfection, qualified rates increased across all groups (P<0.05), though bacterial counts showed no significant intergroup differences (P>0.05). On Day 3, the qualified rates declined markedly, yet 50 mg/L chlorine dioxide combined with multi-enzyme detergent maintained efficacy in handpiece and syringe water (lower bacterial counts). For rinse/mouthwash units, all four methods showed comparable efficacy within one week (P>0.05). Conclusion The dental water exhibits moderate contamination in Yangzhou City, and the combination of chlorine dioxide and multi-enzyme detergent has a certain control effect on DUWL contamination.
