Surface Sterilization Effect of EOW on Indoor Environment / 中华医院感染学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of electrolyzed oxidizing water(EOW) on the surface sterilization of indoor environment.METHODS Sterilized the surface of ground,wall,table,mob and thermostat-controlled water-bath in cell culture room and good laboratory practice(GLP) with EOW,then to draw the materials and culture with culture dish for 48 h in a 37℃ incubator,and count the colony number.Sterilization method and grouping group A treated as a control,group B sterilized with EOW,group C sterilized with ultraviolate ray for 30 min and group D first treated with ultraviolate ray for 30 min,then sterilized with EOW.RESULTS In group A,the bacteria were overgrew and formed flakiness in 10/10 culture dishes;1 colony was formed in group B,the sterilization effective rate was 90%.The bacteria culture of group C found no bacteria growing after sterilization with ultraviolate ray,however,sample from surface and culture after sterilization were seen bacteria,though the number of bacteria was less than group A.The bacteria culture outcome of group D was negative.CONCLUSIONS The EOW has a good sterilization effect,it is safe and untoxic,costly cheap and convenient to use,and fit to claim of environmental protection.
