ASSESSMENT OF ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICIENCY OF DISINFECTANTS AND ANTISEPTICS RECEIVED BY TREATMENT-AND-PROPHYLACTIC INSTITUTIONS

Aim. To assess the antibacterial efficiency of disinfectants and antiseptics received by treatment-and-prophylactic institutions. Materials and methods. Bactericidal activity of 30 disinfectants and 31 antiseptics received by treatment-and-prophylactic institutions were assessed. V. V. Shkarin et al. method (2008) was applied; E.coli №1257 and S.aureus № 906 were used as test-strains. Results. Of thirty tested in relation to bacteria disinfectants, three ones appeared to be ineffective including one which contained quarternary-ammonium compounds and two - oxygen. Besides, there were revealed 9 disinfectants (30,0%) with incomplete bactericidal activity. Out of thirty one tested antiseptics, one drug (3,2%) did not correspond to the claimed activity. It was a water antiseptic containing quarternary-ammonium compounds and amine. Conclusions. From among the studied disinfectants and antiseptics received by treatment-and-prophylactic institutions, 10,0% and 3,2% of drugs (respectively) did not correspond to the claimed antibacterial effect, 30,0% of disinfectants were characterized by incomplete bactericidal effect.
