Transition metal acid\'s antimicrobial properties on material surfaces, MoO3 limits microbial development, and a dramatic increase in multi-resistant microorganisms is self-inflicted: There are Solutions that are Effective and Simple

The growth, proliferation, and transfer of harmful organisms are optimal in clinical settings. Hospital surfaces,
including furniture, ECG lead wires and other cables, infusion pump push buttons, ventilation machine control
knobs, textiles, and implantable biomaterials like central venous catheters, urologic catheters, and endotracheal
tubes, are becoming more and more frequently contaminated with multi resistant microorganisms. The nurses'
hands spread these bacteria throughout the hospital, posing a major and maybe fatal risk. Nosocomial infections
affect 1.8 million patients in Europe every year, and they're responsible for about 180,000 fatalities. According
to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 2 million Americans are thought to have an infection associated to
hospitals each year (Tanwar et al., 2014).
