Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the effect of contaminants on the efficacy of routinely used disinfectants on bacteria and call on attention of hospital staff and medical care personnel for correct usage of disinfectants. Disinfectant efficacy of Hibitane, Osban, Ethanol, Isodine and Tego 51 on organisms such as P. aeruginosa, E. Cole, S. aureus and B. subtilis contaminated with organic substances such as human blood, egg white and animal oil were investigated. The disinfectant efficacy was also determined on clinical specimens. 70
Ethanol was totally ineffective on B. subtilis. Osban and Ethanol did not effect on P. aeruginosa, and B. subtilis when they were contaminated with the organic substances. Tego 51 was weak in the efficacy on sputum and urine specimens. Hibitane and Isodine were effective on tested organisms even when contaminated with organic substances and also on the clinical specimens.
