- The Role Played by Contaminated Surfaces in the Transmission of Nosocomial Pathogens (2011, background): “Cleaning is the removal of soil and contaminants from surfaces, whereas disinfection relates to the inactivation of pathogens by use of a disinfectant.(8) Microorganisms vary in their resistance to disinfectants, so agents must be chosen carefully for their effectiveness, particularly for C.”
