	1.	Research article UV-visible marker confirms that environmental persistence of Clostridium difficile spores in toilets of patients with C. difficile-associated diarrhea is associated with lack of compliance with cleaning protocol. Michelle J Alfa, Christine Dueck, Nancy Olson, Pat DeGagne, Selena Papetti, Alana Wald, Evelyn Lo, Godfrey Harding BMC Infectious Diseases 2008, 8:64 (12 May 2008) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary The use of ultraviolet light-sensitive markers reveals that the toilets of patients with Clostridium difficile diarrhea are cleaned less well than other patients; and that the C. difficile persists on the toilet even after adequate cleaning.
	2.	Research article Increasing the frequency of hand washing by healthcare workers does not lead to commensurate reductions in staphylococcal infection in a hospital ward Clive B Beggs, Simon J Shepherd, Kevin G Kerr BMC Infectious Diseases 2008, 8:114 (2 September 2008) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| F1000 \| Editor’s summary A new simplified model of a hypothetical hospital ward suggests that if staphylococcal transmission is only mediated via healthcare worker hands, then compliance of over 40% in hand washing is enough to prevent most infection outbreaks.
