Comparison of the efficacies of disinfectants to control microbial contamination in dental unit water systems in general dental practices across the European Union

Article Abstract:

A comparison of the efficacy of disinfectants to control microbial contamination in dental unit water systems (DUVs) in general dental practices which could harbor high numbers of bacteria in line with the American Dental Association guidelines was conducted. Results revealed that the antimicrobial efficacies of products varied and overall the continuously applied products performed better than those applied intermittently.

Efficacies of novel N-halamine disinfectants against Salmonella and Pseudomonas species

Article Abstract:

The efficacy of six novel n-halamine compounds as food disinfectants was tested and compared. The six biocides were tested for their activity against three species of Salmonellaand one species of Pseudomonas. Results show that two combined N-chloroamine-containing compounds offer the best activity against these commonenteric pathogens and have great potential for use in the food-processing industry.

Evaluation of two methods of determining the efficacies of two alcohol-based hand rubs for surgical hand antisepsis

Article Abstract:

The antimicrobial efficacies of preparations for surgical hand antisepsis were found according to European standard (prEN 12791 [EN]) and a US standard. One hand rub was based on 80% ethanol and applied for 2 min and the other was based on 45% propan-2-ol, 30% propan-1-ol and 0.2% mecetronium etilsulfate and applied for 1.5 min and both the methods were equally effective.
