The high quality of food depends on a number of conditions, including the technology of their processing, as well as on the sanitary condition at the enterprise. The purpose of this work is the selection of disinfectants of a certain composition, assessment of toxicity and their danger during the processing of various objects at food processing enterprises. Materials and methods. Disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide (PV), peracetic acid (NAC), quaternary ammonium compounds (CH), triamines, chlorine dioxide intended for processing technological equipment, food (egg shells, fruits, vegetables, greens), indoor surfaces and air were studied. The safety assessment of residual amounts of disinfectants on technological equipment and food was carried out by the in vitro method on a suspension culture of mobile mammalian cells (bull spermatozoa) on an automatic device "Image Analyzer AT-05". Results and discussion. The concentration of a working solution of a disinfectant based on PV and NUC (0.02 % by NUC) was determined, after processing of which washing of technological equipment made of metals is not required, with the exception of equipment for the manufacture of baby food. The minimum washing time is set (1 min) eggshells and vegetables after treatment with products based on PV and NUC. After treatment with agents containing an HOUR and triamines, the washing time is at least 2–5 minutes, depending on the concentration of working solutions. Products containing only triamines as an active substance cause the destruction of the structure of greenery. The assessment of the real danger of a disinfectant based on chlorine dioxide at a concentration of 12 % in the form of aerosol particles with a size of 10–20 microns (wet mist) during air treatment was carried out. The consumption rate of the product is 50 ml/m3. High concentrations of chlorine dioxide remain during exposure (30 min) and are removed after fog subsidence and intensive ventilation for 120 min. The concentration of chlorine dioxide in the air of the treated room immediately after treatment exceeded the maximum permissible concentration in the air of the working area by 600 times. Conclusions. Disinfection of SIP systems by means based on PV and NUC is possible without additional washing after treatment. For disinfection of eggshells, greens, it is advisable to use products based on PV and NUC. Air treatment with chlorine dioxide, in view of its high danger, should be carried out remotely. Keywords: disinfectants, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, chlorine dioxide, quaternary ammonium compounds, food and processing industry, food industry, in vitro.

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.

Topical application revealed the high resistance of field populations of houseflies to pyrethroids (500–900?), neonicotinoids (345–500?), phenylpyrazoles (46–75?), susceptibility to FOS (0.6–1.4?) and oxadiazines (0.2?). With intestinal exposure, resistance rates are somewhat lower, but resistance remains at a high level to fipronil (33–76?), thiamethoxam (80–105?) and clothianidin (80–98?). Susceptibility to indoxacarb (0.2–1.4?) was revealed. The comparative efficacy of two modern baits based on indoxacarb and dinotefuran for resistant and susceptible strains of house flies was studied. Both insecticides are highly toxic to house flies in the form of commercially available baits. Indoxacarb and dinotefuran can be recommended for introduction into rotation schemes of insecticides in the form of food baits to control adult flies. Keywords: dinotefuran, indoxacarb, house flies, insecticide resistance, baits.

55 periods in the development of the epidemic process of COVID-19 infection have been identified. The epidemic process of coronavirus infection continues to develop unevenly with pronounced peaks in morbidity and mortality of the population of Moldova. In the first period (March–June 2020), 16613 cases of COVID-19 were reported, of which 545 were fatal (3.28?%). In the second period (July–December 2020) there is an increase of 5.4 times in the average monthly morbidity and 4.5 times in the average monthly mortality of the population from coronavirus infection. In the third period (January–March 2021), there was a slowdown in the intensity of the development of the epidemic process, but the monthly mortality rate of the population exceeded 1.5 times the indicator of the second period. The implementation of targeted specific and non-specific anti-epidemic measures contributed from April to October 2021 to a gradual reduction in the risk of coronavirus infection of the population. However, as a result of the cancellation of most restrictive anti-Covid measures, a decrease in the rate of immunization of the population, the intensification of migration processes and the import into the country by Moldovan citizens, on the eve of various holidays, over 4300 cases of COVID-19 infection, favorable conditions were created for the intensive development of the epidemic process of coronavirus infection and therefore the fifth period is characterized by the highest weekly morbidity rates (7813.8 cases) and mortality. (192.3 cases). Keywords: coronavirus infection, biocidal preparations, epidemic process, population, seasonality, COVID-19 infection, morbidity, mortality, periods, peaks.

At the end of 2019, an outbreak of a new coronavirus infection occurred in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), with its epicenter in the city of Wuhan (Hubei Province). The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined the official name of the infection caused by the novel coronavirus as Coronavirus disease 2019 («COVID-19») [4]. The International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses assigned the official name of the causative agent of infection – SARS-CoV-2 [3]. In accordance with the sanitary legislation of the Russian Federation, the virus is assigned to pathogenicity group II [5]. COVID-19 occurs in two main forms that are subject to registration as independent nosological units: clinically pronounced – (U07.1) and carriage of the causative agent of coronavirus infection – (Z22.8) [4]. All forms of manifestations of coronavirus infection are dangerous, but the asymptomatic form poses the greatest epidemiological danger, due to the difficulty of detection and, as a result, the untimely implementation of anti-epidemic measures [2]. The role of COVID-19 as a healthcare-associated infection has been established [3]. Sysin E.I. and co-authors established the maximum values of the foci index (IO) for nosocomial spread of COVID-19 in psychiatric hospitals [9]. The inclusion of COVID-19 in the «List of diseases that pose a danger to others» [7] determines the epidemic significance of the disease. Keywords: new coronavirus infection, anti-epidemic regime, psychiatric hospital, quality of anti-epidemic regime.

Contamination of laboratory surfaces with nucleic acids and their amplicons is one of the most important problems encountered in nucleic acid amplification methods due to the occurrence of unreliable results. The aim of this study was to select and determine effective regimens for the use of various active agents for decontamination in PCR laboratories. The ability of ethyl alcohol, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine, polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite and neutral anolyte to destroy or irreversibly modify DNA, preventing its subsequent amplification was studied. The decontamination activity was analyzed by simulating the surface contamination with both long (1500 bp) and short (94 bp) amplicons. Hydrogen peroxide 2?%, peracetic acid 0.24?%, dichloroisocyanuric acid 0.01?%, sodium hypochlorite 0.1?% and chlorine dioxide 0.01?% were shown to have decontaminating ability. Notably, dichloroisocyanuric acid decontaminated surfaces from DNA at a concentration 20 times lower than previously described, and sodium hypochlorite at half the concentration, and chlorine dioxide was also found to have decontaminating activity. The absence of decontaminating activity was observed in ethyl alcohol 70?%, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride 2?%, N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine 2?%, polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride 2?% and neutral anolyte 0,05?%. The results obtained allow expanding the list of disinfectants recommended for decontamination measures in laboratories using nucleic acid amplification methods in order to prevent contamination of nucleic acids and their amplicons. Keywords: PCR, DNA, amplicons, decontamination, disinfectants.

Disinfectants are very important in preventing infectious diseases and reducing the number of hospital-acquired infections. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of registered disinfectants. Such diversity requires from the end user a clear understanding of the properties of disinfectants, their effectiveness, toxicity, as well as chemical composition. Also an important aspect of the practical use of disinfectants is the quality control of working solutions, which makes at least familiarity with the basic chemical and analytical methods for the study of disinfectants. It is also necessary to know the features of regulation of disinfectants and to be aware of the latest scientific trends in this area. In this paper, we analyzed the documentation for auctions for the purchase of disinfectants by medical organizations of a wide profile in the Russian Federation between 2017 and 2019. Some common errors encountered during the compilation of disinfectant requirements are highlighted. It is shown that the most commonly used disinfectants based on cationic surfactants, alcohols, and halogens. At the same time, the most common active substance is hydrogen peroxide. Based on the analysis, recommendations on the preparation of requirements for disinfectants were given. The second part of this work will be dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic disinfectant consumption in medical facilities. Keywords: disinfectants, auctions, hospital-acquired infection.
