  • Title: [Minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of some antiseptics and disinfectants against strains of hospital origin].
    Author: Fernández-Crehuet Navajas R, Merina Díaz R, Serrano del Castillo A, Iribarren Marín MA.
    Journal: Rev Latinoam Microbiol; 1992; 34(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 1345297.
    Abstract:
    The MIC in solid media and the B.M.C. by the dilution-neutralization test using sterile water, was determined using 10 antiseptics and disinfectants with 70 strains of 10 species of Gram negative bacteria more frequently causing nosocomial infections in Ciudad Sanitaria Reina Sofía, Córdoba, in Spain. Relationship between the two tests was searched with no positive results. The more effective antiseptics were silver nitrate and chlorhexidine, the less active was phenol. Activity of some antiseptics was similar at 30 or 60 minutes of contact with the microorganisms.
