Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The hypothesize is that the usual procedure of decontamination, based on antiseptic molecules, is not sufficient to eradicate all pathogenic bacteria from the incubators.
In this study the investigator's aim to assess the efficacy of the usual procedure of decontamination and to compare it with another procedure based on steam pulverization. Another objective will be to explore a possible contamination of the hands of the healthcare workers, that can be involved in the cycle of transmission of bacteria to neonates. Finally, clinical data about the neonates housed in the incubator will be retrieved from clinical reports, to identify the occurrence of sepsis and if so, to compare the bacteria involved in the sepsis and the bacteria present in the incubator.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
standard decontamination
incubators decontaminated with antiseptic molecules, healthcare workers involved in this decontamination, patients housed in these incubators
Skin sampling of the hands of the healthcare workers involved in the decontamination of incubators
Each incubator will be sampled in 5 points before and after decontamination. The healthcare worker that will be involved in the decontamination will also be sampled (skin sample of the hand) before and after decontamination of the incubator.
All the samples will be analyzed for the presence of pathogenic bacteria, using an inoculation on selective agar then an identification of each bacterial colony.
steam pulverization
incubators decontaminated with steam pulverization, healthcare workers involved in this decontamination, patients housed in these incubators
Skin sampling of the hands of the healthcare workers involved in the decontamination of incubators
Each incubator will be sampled in 5 points before and after decontamination. The healthcare worker that will be involved in the decontamination will also be sampled (skin sample of the hand) before and after decontamination of the incubator.
