Abstract
Quantitative suspension and carrier tests were used to compare the activity of Perasafe ® and Cidex ® against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, Mycobacterium fortuitum, and Mycobacterium chelonae. The interference of an organic load, and of hard water was also considered. Both agents achieved reductions exceeding 10 5-fold within 20 and 30 min for all the strains tested. Perasafe ® is thus mycobactericidal and a viable alternative to Cidex ® for intermediate or high-level disinfection.
