However, the intervention did not reduce patient length of stay and 30-day mortality.MedicineThe impact of environmental cleaning protocol featuring PX-UV in reducing the incidence of multidrug-resistant gram-negative healthcare-associated infection and colonization in intensive care units in ThailandArticleSCOPUS10.1017/ice.2023.2552-s2.0-851799210681559683438088177
