Products containing a silver antimicrobial agent helped kill bacteria at a Leicester nursing home, studies have shown.
A series of tests at Arbour residential home compared the amount of bacteria found in a treated room compared to a room that was not treated.
Microbiologists said they found an average reduction of 94% in bacteria in five months of testing.
Hospitals already use silver for wound dressings and in operating theatres.
The testing was carried out on light fixtures, call systems, curtains, furniture, sinks and beds in the two rooms.
Leicester City Council has trialled the use of the new technology with the cooperation of BioCote Ltd, which produces the silver coating, in a bid to reduce MRSA, E.coli and salmonella.
