Researchers at a London teaching hospital have come up with a "clean" keyboard that could help in the fight against hospital bugs, including the one responsible for the deaths of hundreds of patients.

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is ready to begin installing the new keyboard on hospital wards. It is completely flat and easy to clean, and UCLH believes it can cut the infections spread by dirty keyboards. According to UCLH, research suggests the keyboard could cut cases of the killer MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) bug by up to 10 percent.
