High-intensity UV LED Inactivation of Clostridum difficile Spores

Clostridium difficile spore transmission from contaminated surfaces is a continuing problem for health care facilities. In a study from Phoseon, high-intensity UV LED  rapidly inactivate Clostridium difficile spores.

High-intensity UV LED 275 nm alone and 275 nm+365 nm combination, wavelengths targeted to protein disulfide functional groups, drive a greater than 5 log (5.79 log) CFU reduction of Clostridium difficile spores on a surface in less than 30 seconds. This is consistent with our results showing synergism between 275 nm and 365 nm high-intensity UV LED when irreversibly inactivating RNase A. Targeting protein stabilization and functional groups represents a new approach to spore inactivation. Request more information
