Abstract
Iodine solubilized in a surface-active agent solution is shown to be an effective antibacterial agent. An equation is given by which it is possible to calculate the equilibrium concentration of iodine freely dispersed in water (in contrast to micellular iodine). Correlation between this calculated concentration of iodine in water and the 99 per cent killing time is presented. Preliminary data further show the solution to be devoid of most of the disadvantages found in the common iodine solutions.
