In vitro synergistic effects of peracetic acid and biocides approved for use in poultry meat processing against four serotypes of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
During poultry meat processing, multiple biocides can be applied to reduce foodborne pathogen contamination. Previous experiments have investigated the efficacy of several biocides, but few have investigated the efficacy of multiple biocides applied in ...

Susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from different sources to biocides: a matter of biofilm [PDF]

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infections in patients residing in intensive care units. The ability of A. baumannii to acquire carbapenem-resistance makes these infections difficult to treat and poses a serious risk ...

In Vitro Effect of Eucalyptus Essential Oils and Antiseptics (Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Povidone-Iodine) against Bacterial Isolates from Equine Wounds

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Considering the increasing antibiotics resistance, there has been a propensity to replace them with antiseptics when it comes to wound management and treatment. Nevertheless, in recent years, there have been reports regarding resistance to antiseptics by

Comparison and Sensitivity Evaluation of Three Different Commercial Real-Time Quantitative PCR Kits for SARS-CoV-2 Detection

Viruses, 2021
Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the most sensitive and specific assay and, therefore, is the “gold standard” diagnostic method for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Local Toxicity of Biocides after Direct and Aerosol Exposure on the Human Skin Epidermis and Airway Tissue Models

Toxics, 2021
Biocides are commonly used as spray- or trigger-type formulations, thus dermal and respiratory exposure to biocide aerosol is unavoidable. However, little is known about the impact of aerosolization on the local toxicity of biocides on the skin or the ...
