Abstract:
The article contains the results of the test of PFK-M composition bactericidal activity against a range of extremely dangerous infective pathogens. The preparation proved to be highly effective for the disinfection of surfaces, sanitary and technical equipment, linen, dishes, and medical utensils contaminated by plague, cholera, and anthrax pathogens. The study found that the antimicrobial activity of the preparation increased after heating and lowered when the object to be disinfected was contaminated with protein admixtures. According to the results of the disinfectological expertise, the preparation was recommended for practical application.
Insights
PFK-M exhibits potent bactericidal activity against dangerous pathogens like plague, cholera, and anthrax. This disinfectant is effective for various surfaces and equipment, with activity enhanced by heating but reduced by protein contamination.
