Anolyte
microbial activity was tested against methicillin-sensitive
Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epermidis, Serratia marcencens,
Escheria coli, Pseudomonas auruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia which are
important pathagenes.
The
bactericidal properties of Anolyte were evaluated with three
conventional disinfectants, including 0.1% chlorhexidine (Herbitane
solution, ICI-pharma, Osaka, Japan), 0.02% povidine iodine (Isodine
solution, Meiji Seika, Tokyo) and 80% ethanol (ethanol for disinfection,
Maruisha Pharmaseutical Co. Ltd, Osaka). The selected concentrations
represent those commonly used in solutions prepared for handwashing. All
disinfectant solutions were mixed with sterile distilled water at the
time of their use. Sterile distilled water was used as a control. The
results are summarised in Table 1 and Table 2.
