Abstract

�MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) can live on high-touch surfaces. Keep surfaces and equipment clean. �¡�¡Use cleaners or detergents for routine cleaning of surfaces. �¡�¡Use sanitizers as needed to reduce the number of germs on surfaces. �¡�¡For surfaces that have drainage from infected skin, clean the surface, and then use an EPA-registered disinfectant to kill the germs. �¡�¡Follow directions on the labels, and use gloves and eye protection as recommended. �¡�¡Frequently touched surfaces include shared work equipment, faucets, shower handles, doorknobs, tabletops, reusable restraints, and exercise equipment.
