Assessment of the efficacy of standard disinfection regimes used in tuberculosis clinic
Abstract
We assessed the efficacy of several disinfectants accepted for use in tuberculosis institutions by activity against M. tuberculosis cultures. Disinfectant test procedure is based on procedures adopted from a well-known method commonly used in disinfectant testing practice, which consists in submerging coarse calico test-objects contaminated with the test-microbes into a disinfectant. Analysis of the study results showed that both museum and clinical test-strains of M.bovis and M.tuberculosis are more pertinent to real tuberculosis causative microorganisms in terms of resistance to disinfectants. The study findings support the feasibility of using a number of various test-strains in the development of national tuberculocidal disinfectant regimens instead of “Mycobacterium B-5” alone.
