Disinfection:A View from the Early 21st Century
Abstract
The origins of today’s disinfection practices go back to
the 19th century. Although we have learned much since
then, there are still gaps in our knowledge; gaps both in
theory and in the practical application of disinfection.
This collection of three short papers is taken from a
session at the 6th Congress of the International Federation
of Infection Control held in Istanbul, Turkey in October
2005. It provides an overview of the current status of
disinfection, as well as an assessment of possible problems
yet to come.
