Analysis of pseudomonas aeruginosa pa01 against five disinfectant solutions

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common opportunistic human pathogens that can cause systemic infections particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Development of its resistance to many antimicrobial agents becomes a major threat to the society. This report is an attempt to find out the minimal bactericidal concentration of disinfectants against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAOlo Five commonly used disinfectant solutions are chosen for this study. Their timebased killing effects were analyzed. Tap water and distilled water were used as dilution media and their different effects were also analyzed. Phenol, basic antiseptic, was used as a standard to compare the capacities of all disinfectant solutions.
