Neutralization of shellfish poison by chemical disinfectants.

Cross-Reactivity and Neutralization Capacity of Polyspecific Antivenom Produced by Razi Institute against Three Species of Buthidea Family Scorpions

Validation of Spore-Forming Organisms Recovery from Peroxygen-Based Disinfectants

Neutralization method evaluation is a crucial preliminary step in biocidal agent evaluation and environmental monitoring (EM) programs. In the present study, four commercial peroxygen/Ag+-based sporicidal disinfectants in pharmaceutical industry were tested against 3 spore-forming microorganisms (Aspergillus brasiliensis, Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii and Bacillus cereus). An in-house mad...

Isolation and Evaluation of New Probiotic Bacteria for use in Shellfish Hatcheries: II. Effects of a Vibrio sp. Probiotic Candidate Upon Survival of Oyster Larvae (Crassostrea virginica) in Pilot-Scale Trials

Environmentally-friendly methods for controlling microbial pathogenesis in aquaculture with probiotic bacteria are becoming increasingly preferred over the use of chemical means, such as disinfectants or antibiotics. Previous research at the Milford Laboratory has shown that naturally-occurring bacteria isolated from the digestive glands of adult oysters (Crassostrea virginica) show promise as ...

Reduction of the neutralisation time during antimicrobial activity testing of disinfectants according to European Standards.

BACKGROUND Evaluation of the biocidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics according to European Standards (EN) is based on determination of the reduction of the number of viable test microorganisms under defined conditions. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate whether reducing the neutralization time required following declared product contact times for the ...

Comparison of Efficacy of Two Disinfectants Against Foodborne Staphylococcus aureus

Background and Objectives: Foodborne illness is a common public health problem. Surfaces and equipment used in food production are involved in the spread of foodborne pathogens. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial effect of Vinoxide and Sanisept against Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from food production lines. Material and Methods: In this descriptive s...
