Overview

This evaluation quantifies disinfectant efficacy against antibiotic resistant ESKAPE pathogens, suggesting critical contact and concentration levels.

Key Points

  • All disinfectants achieved at least 5 log₁₀ reductions under specified conditions, but efficacy decreased significantly with reduced contact time or dilution.
  • Hydrogen-peroxide showed reduced efficacy against clinical E. faecium and Pseudomonas strains compared to reference strains, highlighting the importance of concentration.
  • Sub-lethal concentrations of chlorine and hydrogen peroxide significantly reduced biofilm biomass and inhibited virulence factors, enhancing their antimicrobial effects.
  • Adherence to manufacturer-specified disinfectant conditions is vital to prevent survival of MDR ESKAPE pathogens during cleaning protocols.
