Detection of Bacteria Multiplication in Quaternary Ammonium Germicide Solution

Effect of a quaternary ammonium germicide on electrophoretic mobility of Escherichia coli in various salt solutions.

Quaternary ammonium compounds, effective as sanitizing agents for food plant equipment under certain conditions, are not well suited as sanitizers for water of high mineral content. Mueller and Seeley (1951) have demonstrated under controlled conditions that various metallic cations can decrease the germicidal action of a quaternary in solution. Knowledge of how such interference takes place co...

Quaternary ammonium biocides: efficacy in application.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are among the most commonly used disinfectants. There has been concern that their widespread use will lead to the development of resistant organisms, and it has been suggested that limits should be place on their use. While increases in tolerance to QACs have been observed, there is no clear evidence to support the development of resistance to QACs. Since ef...
