摘要：

Efforts to improve environmental cleaning and disinfection typically focus primarily on high-touch surfaces in patient rooms. This review highlights evidence that portable equipment and other shared devices and floors may be underappreciated as sources of dissemination of health care-associated pathogens. Practical approaches to address these sites of contamination are emphasized. Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
