Hygienic safety of alcohol-based hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall risk of hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics to become contaminated with bacterial spores throughout the production process and the subsequent in-use period, hence posing a public health risk. METHODS Microbiological assessment of primary packaging material was carried out and long-term survival of bacterial spores in alcohol was as...
متن کاملAlcohol-based hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics contamination
Sir, the recent article by Steinhauer et al. [1] is very interesting. Steinhauer et al. reported that “primary packaging material and use were not found to pose a significant contamination risk as far as bacterial spores are concerned” [1]. In fact, the contamination of hand disinfectants and skin antiseptics can be expected. In tropical world where the climate is proper for the growth of patho...
متن کاملVirucidal efficacy of four new disinfectants.
Virucidal efficacy was evaluated for four recently available disinfectants: chlorine dioxide, potassium peroxymonosulfate, a quaternary ammonium compound, and citricidal (grapefruit extract). Sodium hypochlorite (3%) and tap water were used as positive and negative controls respectively. Feline herpesvirus, feline calicivirus, and feline parvovirus were exposed to the manufacturers' recommended...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Virucidal Quantitative Carrier Test for Surface Disinfectants
Surface disinfectants are part of broader preventive strategies preventing the transmission of bacteria, fungi and viruses in medical institutions. To evaluate their virucidal efficacy, these products must be tested with appropriate model viruses with different physico-chemical properties under conditions representing practical application in hospitals. The aim of this study was to evaluate a q...
متن کاملVirucidal Activity of Disinfectants Against Parvoviruses and Reference Viruses
The conditions under which microbiologists, emergency responders, and other individuals are working with pathogens vary greatly. Best practices and PPE used to reduce risk to an acceptable level are determined by conducting a thorough risk assessment.
