Mechanisms of action (MOA) membrane protein nucleic acid Factors number environment microbial structure/characteristics
Disinfectant evaluation Phenol coefficient American official Analytical Chemist’s use-dilution method In-use test Disk diffusion test
standard measures thermal death point (TDP) thermal death time (TDT) Decimal Reduction Time (DRT = D value)
Moist heat Steam Autoclave Pasteurization traditional High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) Ultrahigh-Temperature treatment (UHT) UHT sterilization
Dry heat flaming oven incineration
Filtration air: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) liquid: porcelain & glass paper membrane
Low temperature Dessiccation Osmotic pressure
Electromagnetic radiation (4.1) Irradiated food
Phenol -> carbolic acid Lister
pine oil thymol eugenol (clove oil)
Isopropyl alcohol = isopropanol Ethyl alcohol = ethanol Proof?
Halogens Iodine (I2) iodophor tincture
Halogens Chlorine Chlorine gas (Cl2) Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl hypochlorous acid Ca(OCl)2 calcium hypochlorite Na dichloroisocyanurate (Chlor-Floc) ClO2chlorine dioxide NaOCl sodium hypochlorite chloramine
Oxidizing agents Ozone (O3) peracetic acid
Surfactants= Surface-Acting agents Soap has a structure similar to that shown here for one type (sodium stearate). Soap works because it has the ability to interact with nonpolar (oily) substances as well as with water. In an oil droplet suspended in water, the hydrocarbon residues (R-groups) of soap molecules are immersed in the oil, and the ionic ends extend into the water. Attractive forces between water molecules and the ionic heads cause the oil droplet to be solubilized. emulsification sometimes added: triclosan & triclocarban
Antibacterial soap Alcohol gel (has triclosan) Use with water Do NOT use water Scrub 2-3 minutes Wipe on, wipe off
cationic detergents = quaternary-ammonium detergents = (quats)
Oligodynamic action: heavy metals Ag Ag Also: Zn, Hg, As Cu
Aldehydes glutaraldehyde formaldehyde
Gaseous chemosterilizers propylene oxide beta-propiolactone ethylene oxide
Food preservatives SO2 = sulfur dioxide (and _____ bisulfite or _____ metabisulfite or _____ sulfite) benzoic acid/Na benzoate sorbic acid/K sorbate Na nitrite & Na nitrate Personal care methylparaben, propylparaben menthol
Dyes methylene blue Antibiotics (not used for treatment) nisin natamycin = pimaricin Other antimicrobials tea tree oil (terpin-4-ol) manuka honey (methylglyoxal) crystal/gentian violet
