Description:
OR PathTrac collection kits will be utilized for sampling of 48 specific locations/times throughout each case. These samples include:
* 11 samples that have been routinely used for S. aureus including nasopharyngeal. Normally there are 13, but 2 samples are included in the subsequent environmental locations: the adjustable pressure-limiting valve and agent dial at baseline and case end.
* 1 sample from the endotracheal tube tip at case end, as positive control.
* 12 environmental locations at case end including anesthesia machine and each of the air vents,
* 12 environmental locations matched after environmental cleaning, and
* 12 environmental locations matched after Surfacide Helios UV-C cleaning. The Surfacide Helios UV-C cleaning robots will be used after all normal environmental cleaning of the room has taken place.
