We examined the microbial burden on hospital room environmental sites after standard (quaternary ammonium [Quat]) or enhanced disinfection (quat/ultraviolet light [UV-C], bleach, or bleach/UV-C). An enhanced terminal room disinfection reduced the microbial burden of epidemiologically important pathogens on high-touch surfaces in patient rooms, especially sites around the bed, better than standard room disinfection.
