Comparison of the effectiveness of antibacterial effect of disinfectants on microorganisms isolated from the epidermis

Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2013, Vol 67, Issue 2

Abstract

Chemical disinfectants are commonly used in households, working places, educational centres etc. However, due to the fast increase of microorganisms’ resistance to chemical compounds used in this type of preparations, it is important to choose a suitable and effective disinfectant that prevents bacterial infections in a fast and efficient way. In this study, an attempt was taken to estimate the effectiveness of chemical disinfection preparations: iodine tincture, solutions of salicylic alcohol, oxidized water and potassium permanganate on the autochthonous microflora of the human epidermis. Studies have revealed that iodine tincture is the most effective, while a 0.05% solution of potassium permanganate the least effective against bacteria isolated from the epidermis. Other preparations have demonstrated a surprisingly high effectiveness
