Adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence to evaluate the effectiveness of surface cleaning: an integrative review

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Objective:

To identify indications and controversies in the literature of the use of ATP bioluminescence to evaluate the effectiveness of surface cleaning in healthcare facilities.

Method:

Integrative literature review between 2000 and 2012 in the following databases: MEDLINE, LILACS, Science Direct, SCOPUS and Isi Web of Knowledge.

Results:

were selected for this review 15 articles. The ATP bioluminescence was considered an important educational resource and complementary method to visual inspection and microbiological evaluation of the effectiveness of cleaning. The impossibility to indicate surface contamination by microorganisms, interference by chemicals and the difficulty of interpreting the results constitute the main controversies in the use of ATP in health services.

Conclusion:

Although this is an important resource in the evaluation of surface cleaning, more studies are necessary for effective incorporation of the method in health services.
