  • Title: [A study of the efficacy of disinfectants against anthrax spores].
    Author: Lensing HH, Oei HL.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 1984 Jul 01; 109(13):557-63. PubMed ID: 6431631.
    Abstract:
    The activity of disinfectants with regard to spores of Bacillus anthracis was determined in a suspension test. Creoline (10%) and also several other disinfectants for veterinary use showed no activity against spores of B. anthracis. Natriumdichloorisocyanuraat-dihydrate (2400 ppm active chlorine) and peracetic acid 0,25% demonstrated after 30 minutes of exposures at 20 degrees C in the presence of 4% horse serum a significant sporicidal effect. Under the same conditions formaldehyde 4% and glutaraldehyde 2% were also found to be sporicidal but only after 2 hours of exposure.
