Review

• Bacterial growth is increase in cell numbers

• Growth depends on temperature, pH, osmotic pressure, oxygen, and nutrients

• Log phase cultures are most sensitive to growth inhibition

Page 3: Disinfectants a ppt

Bacteria Undergo

Exponential Growth

Page 4: Disinfectants a ppt

Growth measurements: direct

• Plate counts– detect viable organisms

• Direct microscopic counts– detect total numbers

Page 5: Disinfectants a ppt

Growth measurements: Indirect• Turbidity

– light absorption compared to a standard

• Metabolic activity– amount of product produced in a given

time

• Dry weight– remove water and weigh

Page 6: Disinfectants a ppt

• Principles of effective disinfection– Concentration of disinfectant– Organic matter– pH– Time

• Often chemical methods are compared to Phenol. If more effective given a phenol coefficient of >1. If less effective give a phenol coefficient of <1.

Antiseptics versus Disinfectants

Antiseptics: Use on skin and mucous membranes to kill

microorganisms Not for use on inanimate objects

Disinfectants: Use to kill microorganisms on inanimate objects Not for use on skin or mucous membranes High-level versus low-level disinfectants

Page 55: Disinfectants a ppt

Disinfectants

• Kill/inhibit growth of microbes on surfaces

• Phenols and phenolics: damage lipid membranes

– Active in presence of organic matter

– Stable

– Persist for long periods after application

Page 56: Disinfectants a ppt
Page 57: Disinfectants a ppt

PHENOLICS

• Examples: Benzyl-4-chlorophenol, Amyl phenol, Phenyl phenol

• Advantages and disadvantages: good general purpose disinfectants, not readily inactivated

• by organic matter, active against wide range of organisms (including mycobacterium), but not sporicidal.

Page 58: Disinfectants a ppt
Page 59: Disinfectants a ppt

Amphyl

• Dilutable, phenol-based cleaner is an effective germicidal, fungicidal, virucidal & tuberculocidal agent on hard, nonporous surfaces. Prevents growth of mold & mildew & their odors. Sanitizes laundry, linens, blankets & cloth diapers. Use on floors, walls, equipment, bed frames, bathroom fixtures, wheelchairs & more !

Disinfectants

• Halogens: iodine and chlorine– Iodine used in solution : Betadine® and

Isodine®– Chlorine is a gas that forms bleach

(hypochlorite) in water– Chloramines are chlorine and ammonia

Page 62: Disinfectants a ppt
Page 63: Disinfectants a ppt

Hypochlorite's

• They have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, are unaffected by water hardness, are inexpensive and fast acting, and have a low incidence of serious toxicity

Page 64: Disinfectants a ppt

Hypochlorite's

• Hypochlorites are the most widely used of the chlorine disinfectants and are available in a liquid (e.g. sodium hypochlorite) or solid (e.g. calcium hypochlorite, sodium dichloroisocyanurate) form. The most common chlorine products in are aqueous solutions of 4 to 6% sodium hypochlorite, which are readily available as “household bleach”.

Page 66: Disinfectants a ppt

Antiseptics

• Biguanides: Chlorhexidine– Low toxicity– Used on skin and mucous membranes

Page 67: Disinfectants a ppt

Chlorhexidine

Page 68: Disinfectants a ppt

Antiseptics

• Biguanides: Chlorhexidine

• Low toxicity

–Used on skin and mucous membranes

Page 69: Disinfectants a ppt
Page 70: Disinfectants a ppt

Although chlorhexidine is effective in the presence of blood, soap, and pus, its activity is reduced

Page 71: Disinfectants a ppt

IODOPHORE AND TINCTURE

Page 72: Disinfectants a ppt

Iodine And Iodophor Disinfectants

• These compounds have been incorporated in time release formulations and in soaps (surgical scrubs). Simple iodine tinctures (dissolved in alcohol) have limited cleaning ability. These compounds are bactericidal, sporicidal, virucidal and fungicidal but require a prolonged contact time.

Page 73: Disinfectants a ppt

Iodine And Iodophor Disinfectants

• The disinfective ability of iodine, like chlorine, is neutralized in the presence of organic material and hence frequent applications are needed for thorough disinfection. Iodine tinctures can be very irritating to tissues, can stain fabric and be corrosive.

• was discovered in 1893 by the Swiss Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli as a toxic effect of metal ions on living cells, algae, molds, spores, fungus, virus, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, even in relatively low concentrations. This antimicrobial effect is shown by ions of: mercury, silver, copper, iron,

lead, zinc, bismuth, gold, aluminium and other metals.

Page 79: Disinfectants a ppt

Heavy Metals

• Denature proteins– silver nitrate (topical cream)– mercuric chloride (paint)– copper sulfate (algaecide)– zinc (mouthwash, paints)

Page 92: Disinfectants a ppt

Surfactants

• Decrease surface tension

• Soaps and detergents– Quaternary ammonium compounds :

microbicidal

Page 93: Disinfectants a ppt

Soap, Water and common sense are yet the best antiseptics

William Osler

Page 94: Disinfectants a ppt

Hydrogen Peroxide

• Stabilized hydrogen peroxides can be used to disinfect environmental surfaces. The literature contains several accounts of the properties, germicidal effectiveness, and potential uses for stabilized hydrogen peroxide in the hospital setting

Page 95: Disinfectants a ppt

Hydrogen Peroxide

• Stabilized peroxides may also be blended with iodophors or quaternary ammonia. Hydrogen peroxide is also blended with paracetic acid in high concentrations for use as a high-level disinfectant

Page 96: Disinfectants a ppt

Aldehydes

• Formaldehyde (formalin) and glutaraldehyde– Disinfect instruments– Used to preserve tissues for pathology– Cross-link protein molecules

Page 97: Disinfectants a ppt

Gluteraldehyde

• Aldehydes have a wide germicidal spectrum. Gluteraldehydes are bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, sporicidal and parasiticidal. They are used as a disinfectant or sterilant in both liquid and gaseous forms. They have moderate residual activity and are effective in the presence of limited amounts of organic material

Page 98: Disinfectants a ppt

Formaldehyde

• Formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant and sterilant both in the liquid and gaseous states. Formaldehyde is sold and used principally as a water-based solution called formalin, which is 37% formaldehyde by weight. The aqueous solution is bactericidal, tuberculocidal, fungicidal, virucidal and sporicidal

Page 99: Disinfectants a ppt
Page 100: Disinfectants a ppt

Oxidizing Agents

• Ozone

• Hydrogen peroxide

• Benzoyl peroxide

• Peracetic acid– Interfere with metabolism (especially of

anaerobes)

Page 101: Disinfectants a ppt

Per acetic Acid

• Peracetic, or peroxyacetic, acid is characterized by a very rapid action against all microorganisms. A special advantage of peracetic acid is it has no harmful decomposition products (i.e., acetic acid, water, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide) and leaves no residue. It remains effective in the presence of organic matter and is sporicidal even at low temperatures

Page 102: Disinfectants a ppt

Per acetic Acid

• It is used in automated machines to chemically sterilize medical, surgical, and dental instruments (e.g., endoscopes, arthroscopes).

Page 103: Disinfectants a ppt

Per acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide useful in Hemodialyzers

• Findings demonstrated that this product inactivated all microorganisms with the exception of bacterial spores within 20 minutes. The combination of per acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide has been used for disinfecting hem dialyzers.

Page 104: Disinfectants a ppt

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

• The quaternaries are good cleaning agents but high water hardness and materials such as cotton and gauze pads may make them less microbiocidal because these materials absorb the active ingredients. As with several other disinfectants (e.g., phenolics, iodophors) gram-negative bacteria have been found to survive or grow in these preparations

Page 105: Disinfectants a ppt

Hard Surface Disinfectant

Page 106: Disinfectants a ppt

Gas Sterilization

• Ethylene oxide– Denatures proteins– Kills all spores and microbes with lengthy

exposure– High penetration
