[Microbicidal effect of Lautercide, a new disinfectant].

The authors tested the effect of a new disinfectant Lautericide produced by Qualichem Co. Neratovice which contains as the active agent acetate amine of coconut acid. For experiments standard methods were used and standard strains for testing of the following microbial strains: St. aureus, E. coli, Ps. aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Serratia marcescens, Candida albicans, spores of Bacillus subtilis, M. tuberculosis, M. fortuitum, M. avium. As a model virus E. coli bacteriophage OX 174 was used. In concentrations from 0.04% to 0.5% and exposures from 2 to 10 minutes Lautercide exerted a bactericidal and fungicidal action. On spores of B. subtilis the preparation was ineffective even in a 10% concentration and 32-minute exposure. Devitalization of mycobacteria occurred after 15 min. action of Lautercide on M. tuberculosis and M. fortuitum, in M. avium in a 10% concentration in 60 min. Lautercide is ineffective against small resistant viruses without an integument. It is recommended to use Lautercide in a 1% aqueous solution for a one-stage disinfection combined with cleaning in the health services, veterinary medicine and in the field of communal hygiene. Before cleaning objects contaminated with infectious material, 5% Lautercide with 30 min. exposure is recommended. In disinfection of objects contaminated with mycobacteria it is recommended to use a 5% solution with 10-minute exposure for M. tuberculosis and M. fortuitum and a 10% solution for M. avium with 60-minute exposure.

New disinfectants.

The authors estimated the microbicidal effect of disinfectants produced by the firm Henkel Austria, namely Spitaderm, Incidin M spray, Incidur, Incidur spray, Sekusept pulver, Sekusept forte and Maranon H. The aim of the study was the verification of the effectivity of preparations and the proposal of their application in Czechoslovak practice. The estimation was performed in two stages: in vitro and in practice. The standard suspensive method, the suspensive micromethod and the method of carriers were chosen for the experiments, as well as the strains of grampositive and gramnegative bacteria, the spores of B. subtilis, yeasts and the model virus. In the second part of experiments, the disinfectants were applied according to the producer's instructions in inpatient departments of internal medicine and of surgery at the University Hospital in Olomouc in the course of 4 weeks. During the experiment, the rubdowns were taken twice a week from the working places, floor, instruments and hands and the bacterial contamination of the establishment was estimated. In hemodialysing centre, the apparatuses of the artificial kidney were estimated as well, as the preparation Maranon H is recommended for their disinfection. The results of the experiments show that the recommended concentrations of disinfectants and their effective exposition are chosen with sufficient safety coefficient. In chosen wards, the minimum bacterial contamination was observed. All disinfectants were accepted favourably, their scent estimated as pleasant, the staffs evaluated their high cleaning properties and the dosage equipment, ensuring the precise concentration of preparations. With regard to the above mentioned results, the authors recommend to start the licensed production, as all the tested preparations correspond to the exigent demands of modern and effective disinfection.
