Bactericidal effects of various disinfectants were examined in Aichi Medical University Hospital using clinically isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis (MSSE), floor surface-isolated MRSA and methicillin-resistant coagulase negative staphylococci (MRCNS).
The results revealed following to;
1) Chlorhexidin gluconate was inferior to the bactericidal effects against all isolated strains.
2) Benzalkonium chloride was superior to the other disinfectants.
3) It seems probable that the bactericidal effect of iodophor was dependent on the length of acting time.
4) No significant difference in bactericidal effects was observed between MRSA and MRCNS.
5) In present study, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus saprophyticus indicated that it has a low sensitivity against various disinfectants.
