A tragic example of why we need a greater proportion of registered #nurses in #agedcare.

RNs are experts in #infectioncontrol and clinical nurse educators are experts in #training other staff in infection control (amongst other things).

🌍 Researchers, clinicians & innovators are coming together at SWC 2026 to share the latest advances in:

✔ Early sepsis detection
✔ Infection control
✔ Regenerative medicine
✔ Advanced wound care

FDA lab reports electrical stimulation can substantially reduce early nontuberculous mycobacterial biofilms in lab tests Researchers at the FDA's Winchester Engineering and Analytical Center report that cathodic electrical current eliminated early Mycobacterium chimaera biofilms in laboratory tests but fell short of the FDA's 3‑log intermediate‑level disinfection threshold for some conditions; mature biofilms remained more resistant.

A groundbreaking study reveals that cathodic electrical stimulation can dramatically reduce early-stage Mycobacterium chimaera biofilms on medical devices, but is it enough to meet FDA standards?
