[Control of microbial contamination of antiseptics and disinfectant solutions]

Since various species of opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria and fungi are known to be present in working solutions of disinfectants and antiseptics, an original method for the detection of bacterial contamination of these solutions has been developed. This method has been introduced into practical activities of sanitary and epidemiologic stations and hospitals in Byelorussia as the principal element of sanitary inspection of antiseptic and disinfectant utilization.
