Antibacterial efficacy of handrubbing for 15 versus 30 seconds: EN 1500-based randomized experimental study with different loads of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
OBJECTIVES: Compliance with the World Health Organization 'how to handrub' action is suboptimal. Simplifying the hand-hygiene action may improve practice. However, it is crucial to preserve antibacterial efficacy. We tested the non-inferiority of 15 ...

Sanitation of tomatoes based on a combined approach of washing process and pulsed light in conjunction with selected disinfectants.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
In this study, we evaluated the performance of a large-scale decontamination system based on a washing process in combination with pulsed light (PL) exposure and HO/chlorine. In order to identify optimum processing condition, we first evaluated the e...

Imidazolium ionic liquids as effective antiseptics and disinfectants against drug resistant S. aureus: In silico and in vitro studies.

Computational biology and chemistry
This paper describes Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) studies, molecular docking and in vitro antibacterial activity of several potent imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and its clinical isolate. Sm...

Antifouling booster biocide extraction from marine sediments: a fast and simple method based on vortex-assisted matrix solid-phase extraction.

Environmental science and pollution research international
This paper reports the development of an analytical method employing vortex-assisted matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) for the extraction of diuron, Irgarol 1051, TCMTB (2-thiocyanomethylthiobenzothiazole), DCOIT (4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-3-(2H)-iso...

Evaluation of a peroxygen-based disinfectant for inactivation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus at low temperatures on metal surfaces.

Veterinary microbiology
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) spread rapidly across the United States in part due to contaminated livestock trailers. The objective of this study was to test a peroxygen-based disinfectant for the ability to inactivate PEDV on aluminum surfa...

Impact of density of coating agent on antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticle impregnated plasma treated activated carbon.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
To use stabilized nanoparticles (NPs) in water as disinfectants over a very long period, the amount of coating agent (for NP stabilization) needs to be optimized. To this end, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with two different coating densities of tri-...

Antimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system plus PDT against intracanal Candida albicans: an ex vivo study.

Brazilian oral research
This study evaluated the ex vivoantimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with chemomechanical debridement (CMD) and intracanal medication on Candida albicans. Seventy-eight sterile premolars were cont...

Machine learning-guided prediction of chlorinated/chloraminated disinfection by-product formation in drinking water treatment.

Water research
Chlorination and chloramination as common water disinfection methods are challenged by the unintended formations of hazardous disinfection by-products (DBPs). Accurately predicting DBP formation is essential for improving water treatment processes an...

ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendle (CITRONELLA) AGAINST Microsporum canis FROM ANIMALS AND HOME ENVIRONMENT.

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo
Dermatophytosis is a common zoonosis in urban centers. Dogs and cats have played an important role as its disseminators. Environmental decontamination is essential for the prevention of its propagation to humans and animals. However, sanitizers or di...
