Modern highly effective means «STOPMICROBЕ»

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the disinfectant activity of the «STOPMICROBЕ» product. This disinfectant possesses antimicrobial properties and is highly effective against gramnegative and gram-positive bacteria, including bacteria of the Escherichia coli group, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., and mold fungi. The composition of «STOPMICROBЕ» exists in a metastable state, which does not allow pathogenic microorganisms to develop resistance. Laboratory experiments were performed to determine the disinfecting effectiveness of solutions of the «STOPMICROBЕ» agent during disinfection of test surfaces seeded with test microorganisms of four resistance groups. The results showed that the disinfecting effect of the agent largely depended on the material type of the treated surfaces, the species of test microorganisms, the concentration and the duration of the exposure to treatment. Collectively, the results of this study demonstrate that «STOPMICROBЕ» possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, and B. cereus spores.
