PURE ® Disinfectant Fights Spread of CRE Deadly “Nightmare” Bacteria

ST. LOUIS - Sept. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has produced a compilation of the burden and threats posed by antibiotic-resistant germs that have the most impact on human health.

Edging out MRSA to now top the list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), rated as an “urgent” threat and considered an immediate public health threat that requires urgent and aggressive action.  CRE has become resistant to nearly all antibiotics and has become known as the “nightmare bacteria” because of its high mortality rate.  The CDC estimates 9,000 people are infected by CRE and over 600 die each year as a result of CRE infections.  Those living in long-term or complex medical care facilities and nursing homes are at a higher risk of developing CRE infections.

Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI’s) are responsible for nearly 100,000 deaths per year in the US alone, according to the CDC.  “We believe PURE, http://purelybetter.com  is the leading technological breakthrough to combat HAI’s from CRE and other deadly germs, while being safe enough to be used in hospital rooms when the patient is in the room.  It kills germs in as little as 30 seconds*, is food contact surface safe without a rinse, and so it poses virtually no risk to patients or healthcare workers, as some of the old technology disinfectants do,” said Jim Epstein, President of Clearly Better Solutions. “Our task now is to quickly get it into as many high-risk environments as possible”.

The CDC asserts that an important step that needs to be taken to combat CRE is preventing infection and the spread of disease.  The PURE™ family of products is formulated for hospitals, medical offices, food service institutions and restaurants, day care, educational facilities, and homes. Areas of application for PURE ™ include homes, offices, hospitals, restaurants, schools, hotels, restrooms, recreational facilities, and public transport vehicles.
