A representative example of their recent contribution is the study titled "Environmental cleaning to prevent hospital-acquired infections on non-intensive care units: a pragmatic, single-centre, cluster randomized controlled, crossover trial comparing soap-based, disinfection and probiotic cleaning", which offers critical insights into the dynamics of nosocomial infections and antibiotic resistance. Additional work such as "Appropriate antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance: knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of medical students and their needs and preferences for learning" further demonstrates their commitment to advancing knowledge in this domain.
