ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the efficacy of a medical disinfectant ultrasonic coupling agent on the killing of five clinically isolated multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs).Methods From March 2016 to May 2017,a disin-fection ultrasonic coupling agent containing active ingredient,including triclosan and propylene glycol,was used to conduct carrier quantitative germicidal test on five clinically isolated MDROs,the killing efficacy to MDROs was ob-served.Results After 1.5,3.0,and 4.5 minute disinfection time,the killing logarithms values of disinfection ultra-sonic coupling agent to five MDROs(multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter bau m annii[MDR-AB],methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus[MRSA],multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa[MDR-PA],carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae[CRKP],and extended-spectrum β-lactamase Escherichia coli[ESBLs-EC])were all>3.0. Conclusion Medical disinfection ultrasonic coupling agent can effectively kill five common MDROs,and can take the place of disinfectant during ultrasonic examination.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether ultrasonic coupling agent (UCA)can produce shielding or antago-nistic effect on iodine disinfectant for preoperative skin disinfection.Methods Shielding or antagonistic effect of UCA on iodine disinfectant were detected by laboratory carrier immersion killing test and on-the-spot skin disinfec-tion test.Results Antagonistic effect:after the mixing of iodophor with UCA,the average killing rate of iodophor containing available iodine 2 500mg/L and 625 mg/L to Staphylococcus aureus decreased from 100.00% to 99.67%-99.78% and 96.85 % - 98.25 %,respectively;the average killing rate to Escherichia coli decreased from 100.00% to 99.71 %-99.82% and 95 .93 %-98.56%,respectively.Shielding effect:after smearing with UCA, the average killing rate of iodophor and iodine tincture + alcohol to Escherichia coli decreased from 100.00% to 30.76% and 100.00% to 94.48%,respectively;the average killing rate to Staphylococcus aureus decreased from 99.99% to 55 .55 % and 100.00% to 98.22%,respectively.On-the-spot skin disinfection test:the killing rate of io-dophor and iodine tincture +alcohol to natural bacteria on skin surface were both 99.99%,after skin was smeared with UCA,the killing rate decreased to 92.62% and 93 .57%,respectively.Conclusion UCA remained on the oper-ative field has shielding and antagonistic effect on iodine disinfectant.
