Eyedrops often contain additives other than active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as preservatives. The most frequently used preservative is benzalkonium chloride (BAC). When the ocular surface exposed to eyedrops, ingredients and can cause corneal epithelial disorder. Particularly in clinical settings, there great interest disorders resulting from use of glaucoma which inevitable when instil...

MIC-tests in replicate were performed on 286 Salmonella isolates (269 from Danish poultry, including 256 from broiler houses, and 17 from England, mainly from poultry) against five disinfectants used in the poultry industry (glutaraldehyde/benzalkonium chloride compound, formaldehyde, oxidising compound, tar oil phenol, iodophor). Generally, the small variations in MIC could not be associated w...

The purpose of this study was to establish the effects of ultrasonic treatment of eggs on egg weight loss, hatchability, tibia mineral content, chick performance, and eggshell microbial activity. A total of 600 fresh eggs was randomly divided into 5 groups. Treatments were no ultrasound, 35 kHz for 5 min, 35 kHz for 10 min, 35 kHz for 15 min, and eggs sprayed with benzalkonium chloride solution...

A mixture of benzalkonium chloride, Triton X100, and citric acid (Resiguard F) had a marked virucidal effect on lipid-containing deoxyribonucleic and ribonucleic acid viruses, such as vaccinia virus, herpesvirus, and influenza virus. Adenoviruses and picornaviruses were more resistant to inactivation. Electron microscopy showed that influenza particles became aggregated in the presence of Resig...

This study investigated the effect of benzalkonium chloride (BAC) modification of two adhesive systems on long-term bond strength to normal and artificially eroded dentin. A total of 128 extracted human molars were sectioned and the buccal and oral surfaces of each molar were ground until the dentin. One half was left untreated (normal dentin) while the other half underwent artificial erosion. ...
