尊敬的绿茵场版主：
您好！
前些日子，看到您的这篇帖子，“都这样做的，也未必一定是对的”，是一种观念的变革。
有很好的启发意义。
在4月15日，就在约翰霍普京斯关于“电动水龙头有会比手动有更多细菌污染”的报道没有多久，APIC官方发表申明，对这一结论予以了否认。目前还没有偱证医学的证据证明，这一结论是正确的，同时APIC也认为，这是一个非常好的论题，值得进一步研究，确认，究竟是否存在这样的差别。
现在黏贴全文如下：

Healthcare Engineering and Infection Control Associations Release Statement to Clarify Recently Presented Research on Electronic Faucets
Washington, DC, April 15, 2011 – In a joint statement to their members about the potential infection risks associated with electronic-eye faucets, the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) urged healthcare facilities to review additional literature before making policy changes regarding hands-free faucets.
A recent abstract highlighted in the media has been raising concern about the potential for higher occurrence of Legionella spp. in electronic-eye faucets. A limited investigation of water faucets conducted by Johns Hopkins Health System, and presented at the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Annual Scientific Meeting on April 2, 2011 (Sydnor, et.al., “Electronic-eye Faucets: Help or Hindrance to Infection Control and Prevention”), found that 50% of cultures of water from 20 electronic, infrared activated faucets compared with 15% of 20 manual faucets revealed Legionella spp.
“This has been presented as an oral session at a scientific meeting,” said ASHE and APIC in a statement posted to the organizations’ websites. “It has not been published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal.
明确指出，这一研究结论仅仅是在会议上作为口头发言，并未得到同行评阅通过。也未正式发表。
As such it is an interesting study, but any major changes in policy or actions by others should await publication as more details will be revealed, and peer-review always improves the context and significance of findings. This study also needs to be considered in the context of other published studies and evidence-based guidelines.”
同时，他也肯定了这篇研究的意义，只是谨慎的认为：这样的结论尚有待进一步验证。
The statement issued by ASHE and APIC pointed out that there have been several studies which found that manual, handle-operated faucets were the source of bacterial infections in patients, as well as another study of electronic faucets which did not find these to be a source of bacteria.
“Electronic faucets do help with water conservation as hospitals are an industry noted for its high use of water,” said ASHE and APIC. “This feature also lessens risk of recontamination of hands after washing as there is no need to manually turn off the water supply after use.”他们还肯定了电眼水龙头的积极意义。
这样的学术探讨和研究一定会对我们的观念有所触动，对提高感控工作有很积极的效应。期待进一步的偱证研究，以辅助修订感控指南。
