Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA infection is caused by a type of staph bacteria that has become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat ordinary staph infections. Most MRSA infections occur in people who’ve been in hospitals or other health care settings, such as nursing homes and dialysis centers. According to the CDC, there were more than 100,000 invasive MRSA infections and nearly 20,000 related deaths in 2017. The Mayo Clinic recommends preventing  MRSA in hospitals by implementing strict hand hygiene procedures and disinfecting contaminated surfaces. 

The antibacterial effect of FN® NANO photocatalytic film under weak UV illumination against E. coli is very successful. For decades, titanium dioxide panels were installed in Japanese hospital rooms where sterile conditions are important. After applying FN® Nano Photocatalytic Film in medical facilities, the bacterial counts dropped significantly on the walls of tested areas as well as the surrounding air space. Even the dead cells eventually decompose due to the photocatalytic process of titanium dioxide. 

Institute of Public Health (NIPH) – Laboratories CEM NRL
Disinfection and sterilization performed testing of the antibacterial activity of the sample FN® NANO modified test method according to ISO 22,196th a test temperature of 36 ± 1º C, relative humidity greater than 90% and the duration of the 5 (K = control in log – reference glass, P = test sample, K - P = decrease)

Staphylococcus aureus            K 6,86      P –       > 6,86

Pseudomonas aeruginosa       K 6,5        P            15,50  

Escherichia coli                          K 6,89     P –        > 6,89 

For all microbes tested, the number of microorganisms by 5 logs was reduced to provide a bactericidal effect.
