Abstract Background Prevention of surgical site infections (SSIs) involves implementation numerous steps including ultraclean air in the operating room (OR). Despite all efforts, particles may exist and some these be live pathogens that can potentially cause subsequent SSI. This prospective study aimed to determine compare nature quantity microbes room, as detected from inlet flow an ultraviolet filtration unit, efficacy unit remove creating clean (the outlet flow). Methods was conducted at...
