Problem statement: Poultry industry is intensive and consistently applies an all-in, all-out system with the aim of minimizing infection pressure and targeting specific pathogens like Salmonella which remains one of the leading causes of food-borne illness, many questions regarding the introduction and persistence in animal production still remain. Therefore disinfection during production break...

BACKGROUND: The practice of using disinfectants to safeguard against the acute effects of waterborne disease are well established and regulated in the United States. New regulations designed to minimize the risks associated with chronic exposure to disinfection by-products (DBPs), however, are changing the current regulatory framework. Changes in disinfection practices meant to comply with thes...

William A. Rutala, PhD, MPH, CIC, was selected to revise the previously published “APIC Guideline for Selection and Use of Disinfectants” because of his recognized expertise in infection control and extensive research with disinfectants. Initial drafts were reviewed by the APIC Guidelines Committee, key individuals, and professional organizations before the publication of the draft document in ...

Disinfectants play a major role in the control of animal diseases by decontaminating the farm environment. We evaluated the virucidal efficacy of nine commonly used disinfectants on a nonporous surface contaminated experimentally with avian metapneumovirus (aMPV), avian influenza virus, or Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Phenolic compounds and glutaraldehyde were found to be the most effective a...

Endocavitary ultrasound probes are part of a commonly used procedure in the clinical arena. The cavities examined, vaginal canal and cervix, anal canal, and oral cavity are all areas commonly infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV), thus making them susceptible to contamination by HPV. It has been demonstrated that these probes can remain contaminated with high-risk HPV even when approved ...

as pseudomonas, acinetobacter, and staphylococcus that appropriate disinfection can reduce these pathogens. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different disinfectants on gram-negative bacteria isolated from the surface of accidents and burn hospital in yazd. materials and methods: in this study, 240 samples were randomly collected from different parts of accidents and burn hosp...

In the examination of disinfectants, the rate of killing of bacteria is implicitly contained in the result, even when that result is expressed in any such standard form as the phenol coefficient. This fact is not apparent and is not generally recognized. Let it be recalled, however, that the time to kill is the basic determination upon which the coefficient, or any other relative measure of eff...
