Abstract:
The effect of three disinfectants on Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from poultry feces was investigated. Two-fold dilutions of ethyl alcohol, formalin and benzalkonium chloride were contacted with bacterial suspension in 1 to 60 minutes. Seventy per cent of ethyl alcohol and 2.5 per cent of formalin killed all bacteria within one minute. Benzalkonium chloride (1:50.000) was effective to all bacteria within 5 minutes. Under the conditions of this study, the recommended standard concentrations of disinfectants examined were adequate to destroy C. jejuni.
