A review of Spaulding's classification system for effective cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of reusable medical devices: Viewed through a modern-day lens that will inform and enable future sustainability

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 878, P. 162976 - 162976

Despite advances in medicine and innovations many underpinning fields including disease prevention control, the Spaulding classification system, originally proposed 1957, remains widely used for defining disinfection sterilization of contaminated re-usable medical devices surgical instruments. Screening PubMed Scopus databases using a PRISMA guiding framework generated 272 relevant publications that were this review. Findings revealed there is need to evolve how are designed, processed by cleaning, (and/or sterilization) mitigate patient risks, acquiring an infection.

Chlorination-induced spread of antibiotic resistance genes in drinking water systems

Water Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 274, P. 123092 - 123092

Published: Jan. 4, 2025

Chlorine, the most widely utilized disinfectant for drinking water globally, has recently been implicated in facilitating spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), raising concerns about its underestimated environmental and ecological risks. However, given current fragmented research focus results, a comprehensive understanding potential mechanisms influencing factors behind chlorination-promoted ARGs transmission systems is crucial. This work first to systematically review variations abundance, mechanisms, factors, mitigation strategies related during chlorination process. The results indicated that could induce genetic mutations promote horizontal gene transfer through multiple pathways, including increased reactive oxygen species, enhanced membrane permeability, stimulation SOS response, activation efflux pumps. In addition, this delves into significant discoveries regarding affecting ARG water, such as chlorine concentration, reaction time, disinfection byproducts, pipe materials, biofilms, matrix. A series effective from source point-of-use were proposed aimed at mitigating risks system. Finally, we address existing challenges outline future directions overcome these bottlenecks. Overall, aims advance our role dissemination inspire innovative ideas optimizing techniques, minimizing transmission, enhancing safety water.
