In-Use Contamination of a Hospital-Grade Disinfectant.

American Journal of Infection Control, 2022
BACKGROUND Microbiological monitoring of disinfection of high-touch surfaces identified heavy growth of Serratia marcescens and Achromobacter xylosoxidans not present on surfaces before disinfection, suggesting contamination of the disinfectant used ...

Disinfection of Fiberscopes by Thermochemical Disinfection

Endoscopy, 1991
A new fully automated washing and disinfection machine for fiberscopes was evaluated. This apparatus, the Endoscopic Thermo Disinfector (ETD) uses a combination of heat and a brand name disinfectant containing glutaraldehyde to fulfill its purposes. The disinfectant showed effective antibacterial activity at the concentrations used in the ETD.

DISINFECTANTS AND DISINFECTION.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1907
The subject of disinfection is so broad and covers such a wide range of considerations that it is impossible to discuss it properly in the brief time allowed for this paper. Important as are such subjects as the disinfection of the patient's body, instruments, dressings, discharges of various kinds, etc., I have deemed it more important to view and ...

Impact of disinfectant on bacterial antibiotic resistance transfer between biofilm and tap water in a simulated distribution network.

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Bacterial antibiotic resistance (BAR) is profoundly important to human health, but the environmental reservoirs of resistance determinants are poorly understood.

Water disinfection and disinfection by products

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
For ecological safety and public health, it is essential to identify the causes of pollution in water sources and the effects of both natural and human activities. A class of secondary pollutants known as disinfection byproducts (DBPs) is produced when water is treated with disinfectant.

Disinfectant-like activity of lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus tequilensis strain SDS21.

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2019
Antiseptics and disinfectants are widely applied for eliminating microorganisms. However, microorganisms dwelling in the biofilm are less susceptible and in some cases resistant to biocide treatment.

[Disinfectants and disinfection methods].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2008
A risk assessment should be made of the microorganisms to be eliminated and the chosen disinfection compound. It is also necessary to reduce the amount of microorganisms by manual or mechanical cleaning in order to obtain a satisfactory result from disinfection. New chemical disinfectants are often combinations of different compounds.

The Disinfectant Dilemma

Infection Control, 1985
In a recent communication, the manufacturer of a glutaraldehyde-based disinfectant described several important discoveries that became apparent during a recent review of claims of their product. Such updating of materials is an ongoing quality assurance mechanism for many reputable manufacturers.Manufacturer A maintains that the old Association of ...
