Bacteria Becoming Resistant to Hospital Disinfectants, Warn Scientists.

Corona is the obvious fuel firing up the sales of all sanitizers. But around the corner, we could be looking at an even higher octane fuel. Bacteria which is becoming resistant to alcohol.

(You can't make this stuff up.)

The alcohol-based handrubs that hospitals use to prevent infection are becoming less effective, research has shown.

Hospitals will need to use new strategies to tackle bacteria experts have warned, after finding a type of hospital superbug is becoming increasingly tolerant of alcohol – the key component of current disinfectant hand rubs.

“This is a wake-up call to infection control hospital teams around the world that if you want to control the emergence of VRE you need to do more than just rely on your alcohol-based disinfectants,” said Prof Timothy Stinear, co-author of the research from the University of Melbourne.
