Abstract
Vegetable-tanned leather had a fungicidal effect on one strain of Trichophyton gypseum and two strains of T. interdigitale but not on several strains of common mould contaminants. Chrome-tanned leather, vegetable-tanned leather from an old shoe, and vegetable-tanned leather leached overnight in running water did not possess fungistatic or fungicidal properties.Of a number of disinfectants tested under conditions similar to those occurring during the fat-liquoring operation, phenylmercuric acetate was the most effective, destroying the above organisms in a concentration of 1:100,000. Under the same conditions a 1:1000 dilution of commercial formalin was required.
