Best methods for removal and destruction of pathogens

This paper brings together the studies included in the existing and emerging decontamination technologies reviews, and presents a brief summary of the study results with respect to specific pathogens of relevance to the healthcare setting.

This re-framing of the previously identified studies is intended to facilitate the development of recommendations for the best methods of pathogen removal and destruction by presenting the results in such a way as to allow the quality and quantity of studies and results for each technology to be easily determined at pathogen level.
