Interaction of povidone-iodine compounds, phagocytic cells, and microorganisms.
The interaction between povidone-iodine, phagocytic cells, and microorganisms was studied. Three preparations of povidone-iodine were investigated: commercially available povidone-iodine solution Betadine, pure high-molecular-weight povidone-iodine as used in Betadine, and a low-molecular-weight povidone-iodine. Low concentrations of povidone-iodine (approximately 0.005%) have considerable acti...

متن کاملPovidone-iodine as a sporicide.
Thioglycollate Broth Medium was used for culturing the test bacteria. Thioglycollate Broth Medium containing 0.5% sodium thiosulfate, O.S^o Tween ® 80, and 0.07% lecithin was used as the transplant medium. The sodium thiosulfate inactivates free iodine which mav be carried over. The Tween ® 80 and lecithin serve as inactivators for the quaternary compounds and hexachlorophene, and thioglycollat...
متن کاملPovidone-iodine prophylaxis of ophthalmia neonatorum.
O phthalmologists practising in the developed world at the beginning of the 21st century may be surprised to learn that visual loss from ophthalmia neonatorum was once a major public health problem. In England in the mid-1800s, there was a hospital devoted solely to the lavage of infants with gonococcal ophthalmia. Fortunately, the work of Crede, who developed prophylaxis with 2% silver nitrate...
