The antifungal activities of Origanum vulgare essential oil (EO) and of a biocide based on silver and hydrogen peroxide (Sanosil S003) against seven Aspergillus species isolated from different substrata (stone, brick, silk and paper) of cultural heritage objects in Serbia were evaluated. Microdilution, agar dilution and microatmosphere methods were used to determine minimal fungistatic and mini...

In orthodontics effective disinfection of pliers in short time is important. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three disinfectant solutions (two quaternary ammonium compounds (Deconex, Micro10+) and one hydrogen peroxide disinfectant (Sanosil)) in orthodontic pliers’ disinfection. Nine Adams pliers were sterilized with autoclave. Pliers were contaminated with standard and hospital staph...

The effects of three different initial degrees of infection (30, 45 and 70%) of the green alga Scenedesmus incrassatulus with the unicellular fungal parasite Phlyctidium scenedesmi on cell growth, protein, polypeptide and isoenzyme profiles of both SOD and CAT in the host cells were investigated. The effects of the strong oxidant sanosil with algicide and fungicide action and pathogen invasion ...

BACKGROUND Central venous (CV) catheters play an essential role in the management of critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). CV lines are, however, allied to catheter-associated blood stream infections. Bacterial colonization of CV lines is deemed the main cause of catheter-associated infection. The purpose of our study was to compare bacterial colony counts in the catheter si...

Oxidative stress effects on growth, viability, pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene) and protein contents in Antarctic microalga Choricystis minor were investigated. C. minor was cultivated at optimal (23.5oC), or extreme (15oC 27.5oC) temperatures and light intensity of 520 and 1000 μmol m-2 s-1. Oxidative stress was developed by adding Sanosil which degrades to H2O2 and Ag +. As ...

Višestruko rezistentne bakterije, uzročnici hospitalnih infekcija, kao što su Acinetobacter baumannii i Klebsiella pneumoniae , predstavljaju globalni problem 21. stoljeća. Osobito zabrinjava sve učestalija pojava otpornosti ovih mikroorganizama na komercijalno dostupne dezinficijense. Cilj našeg istraživanja bio je utvrditi učinkovitost dezinfekcije proizvoda „Sanosil super25“, u odnosu vodiko...

background to prevent diseases transmission, infection control in dental offices without reducing the accuracy and dimensional stability of impression materials is very important. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sanosil disinfectants on the dimensional stability of some usual impression materials. materials and methods three types of impression material, namely, ...

conclusions within the limitations of this study, disinfectants were able to completely eliminate microorganisms carried by the alginate impressions. however, more efficient disinfection methods are needed to eliminate the risk of cross contamination by condensational silicone impressions. background dental impressions often carry microorganisms that may cause cross-infection from patients to d...
