Objectives: To evaluate the merit of a new alginate efficacy film test to determine the bactericidal activity of the high-level disinfectant ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA).Methods: The efficacy of OPA was investigated using a new sodium alginate surface film test against Mycobacterium chelonae NCIMB 1474 and Epping, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIMB 10421 under different test conditions.Results: OPA was highly bactericidal against P. aeruginosa but its mycobactericidal efficacy was seriously reduced and produced ≥5 log reductions only at a concentration of 0.5% (w/v) within 30–60 min without organic load.Conclusions: The sodium alginate film efficacy was reproducible between repeats. Inactivation results depended upon the concentration of OPA, contact time, the presence of an organic load and the bacterial genera. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
