The study was aimed at evaluation of usefulness of Septo-Clean, which contain in 100 cm3 of distilled water 1 g of didecyl-dimethylammonium chloride and 70 cm3 of isopropyl alcohol. This preparation is prepared for quick disinfection of surfaces and antiseptic action on hand skin. Investigations were carried on test strains of S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans. It was demonstrated that MIC of Septo-Clean amount to 0.04% for S. aureus to 0.88% for P. aeruginosa. MBC 5 min values were respectively 0.19 and 1.05%. It was found that this preparation effectively lowers natural contamination with bacteria of hospital usable surfaces by 98%, exhibiting effectiveness similar to preparations containing 2.5% of chlorhexidine in 70% ethanol or isopropanol. |
