	Medigenic *Infection Control Begins at Entry Level*

Computer keyboards are everywhere in healthcare facilities. Today, smarter prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections (HAI’s) are driving the need for an infection-control keyboard: a new generation designed specifically for the medical environments. Typcal healthcare keyboards have many users, so cross-contamination from and to patients result in fatal consequences – particularly if the transient bacteria such a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) exist. Strong arguments for improved infection-control methodology are evident where computer keyboards collect bacteria and require attention to maintain cleanliness.
