Fig. 3. Logarithmic reduction values of (a) carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and (b) multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA) after a 5-min exposure to 40 ppm and 300 ppm of sprayed HOCl (n = 3, mean ± SD). Purified water was used as negative control. HOCl, hypochlorous acid water; LOD, limit of detection.

Fig. 1. Schematic representation (left) and real photography (right) of the hospital two-bed room at which the experiment was conducted. Eight humidifiers, two thermo-hygrometers, and one circulator were used for the experiment. The bactericidal effect of atomized HOCl against two bacteria, carbapenemresistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA), was evaluated. HOCl, hypochlorous acid water.
