The effectiveness of the application of disinfectant using a hot fog generator

Abstract

The sporicidal and bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide using a hot fog generator on the viability and ultrastructure of spores of the vaccine strain Bacillus anthracis STI-1 was studied using a bacteriological method and electron microscopy. The high efficiency of disinfection treatment of various surfaces has been established, which consists in the fact that within 10-20 minutes there is a complete death of test microorganism that contaminate the surfaces treated with hot fog. It has been experimentally proven that in the process of generating hot fog, the concentration of working disinfectant solution increases, which is based on the partial evaporation of moisture from solution of disinfectant during the formation of hot fog and its transfer by a stream of hot gas. Based on the results obtained, it is advisable to use hot fog generators to achieve a pronounced biocidal effect when carrying out disinfection measures in medical organizations, as well as when performing scientific research. Keywords: microorganisms, spores, bacteria, hydrogen peroxide, hot fog generator.
