Abstract
A disinfectant formula (Resiguard) containing picloxydine digluconate, benzalkonium chloride, and a detergent was examined for antibacterial activity. Studies in vitro with simulated organic contamination were followed by realistic in-use tests employing items of anaesthetic and urological equipment heavily infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and contaminated with blood. These showed that a dilution of 1/80 was reliably bactericidal to this resistant organism. It is concluded that Resiguard is a valuable disinfectant which may reliably be employed in the cleaning and disinfection of items of delicate, non-autoclavable, hospital equipment.
