Effects of formulation on microbicide potency and mitigation of the development of bacterial insusceptibility [PDF]
Risk assessments of the potential for microbicides to select for reduced bacterial susceptibility have been based largely on data generated through the exposure of bacteria to microbicides in aqueous solution.

Impacts of indoor surface finishes on bacterial viability. [PDF]
Microbes in indoor environments are constantly being exposed to antimicrobial surface finishes. Many are rendered non-viable after spending extended periods of time under low-moisture, low-nutrient surface conditions, regardless of whether those surfaces

Formulation of Biocides Increases Antimicrobial Potency and Mitigates the Enrichment of Non-Susceptible Bacteria in Multi-Species Biofilms [PDF]
The current investigation aimed to generate data to inform the development of risk-assessments of biocide usage. Stabilised domestic drain biofilm microcosms were exposed daily over six months to increasing concentrations (0.01 to 1 %) of the biocide ...
