Sporicidal Activity of Alcide Exspor and Sodium Hypochlorite on Bacillus anthracis Spores
Abstract
Exspor, a commercial disinfectant, was completely sporicidal to Bacillus anthracis spores and was active in the presence of 5% (wt/vol) brain heart infusion, 5% (vol/vol) whole sheep blood, and 50% (wt/vol) plant materials. Sodium hypochlorite, 0.5% (wt/vol), although highly sporicidal, was inhibited significantly by the presence of organic material.
