Research summary
AI-generated

Gurpreet K. Chaggar's research focuses on how well common disinfectants and cleaning products work against harmful microbes—like Staphylococcus aureus, Candida auris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Clostridioides difficile—especially when these germs form protective clusters called biofilms or persist as spores on hard surfaces. The work is largely applied and lab-based, testing real-world disinfection products, wipes, and automated cleaning methods to see how effectively they remove or kill pathogens in healthcare and food-safety settings. This research is relevant to infection control practices in hospitals and other environments where surface contamination is a concern.
