Negative Air Ionizer Kills 100% Deadly Hospital Bacteria 1-4-3 LONDON (ANI) -- A year long trial of a negative air ioniser in an intensive care ward of a hospital in the UK has proven to be a complete success story with hundred percent elimination of air-borne infections of the bacteria acinetobacter. Ý In the first such epidemiological study, researchers found that the infection rate fell to zero during the trial. "We were absolutely astounded to find such clear cut results," engineer Clive Begg at the University of Leeds, UK, was quoted as saying in New Scientist. Ý Stephen Dean, a consultant at the St James's Hospital in Leeds where the trial took place says: "The results have been fantastic so much so that we have asked the university to leave the ionisers with us." Ý he ionisers produce negative air ions that collide with suspended particles and give them a charge. The scientists believe charged particles aggregate together and fall out of the air, thereby disinfecting the atmosphere and stopping the transmission of infection. Ý Acinetobacter infections are often very difficult to treat as the bacterium is resistant to many antibiotics. It poses no real threat to healthy humans but can cause serious infections in people with weakened immune systems. Ý About 10 per cent of infections in the UK's public hospitals have been estimated to be airborne, but Kerr says it may be even higher, as conventional methods to sample airborne bacteria are inefficient, the report further adds.
