  • Chemical Disinfectants | Disinfection & Sterilization Guidelines | Guidelines Library | Infection Control | CDC 3/19/20, 14:52
    Chemical Disinfectants | Disinfection & Sterilization Guidelines | Guidelines Library | Infection Control | CDC 3/19/20, 14:52 Infection Control Chemical Disinfectants Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities (2008) Alcohol Overview. In the healthcare setting, “alcohol” refers to two water-soluble chemical compounds—ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol —that have generally underrated germicidal characteristics 482. FDA has not cleared any liquid chemical sterilant or high- level disinfectant with alcohol as the main active ingredient. These alcohols are rapidly bactericidal rather than bacteriostatic against vegetative forms of bacteria; they also are tuberculocidal, fungicidal, and virucidal but do not destroy bacterial spores. Their cidal activity drops sharply when diluted below 50% concentration, and the optimum bactericidal concentration is 60%–90% solutions in water (volume/volume) 483, 484. Mode of Action. The most feasible explanation for the antimicrobial action of alcohol is denaturation of proteins. This mechanism is supported by the observation that absolute ethyl alcohol, a dehydrating agent, is less bactericidal than mixtures of alcohol and water because proteins are denatured more quickly in the presence of water 484, 485. Protein denaturation also is consistent with observations that alcohol destroys the dehydrogenases of Escherichia coli 486, and that ethyl alcohol increases the lag phase of Enterobacter aerogenes 487 and that the lag phase e!ect could be reversed by adding certain amino acids. The bacteriostatic action was believed caused by inhibition of the production of metabolites essential for rapid cell division. Microbicidal Activity. Methyl alcohol (methanol) has the weakest bactericidal action of the alcohols and thus seldom is used in healthcare 488. The bactericidal activity of various concentrations of ethyl alcohol (ethanol) was examined against a variety of microorganisms in exposure periods ranging from 10 seconds to 1 hour 483.

  • Antiseptics in the Era of Bacterial Resistance: a Focus on Povidone Iodine
    Therapeutic Perspective Antiseptics in the era of bacterial resistance: a focus on povidone iodine Jean-Marie Lachapelle*1, Olivier Castel2, Alejandro Fueyo Casado3, Bernard Leroy1, Giuseppe Micali4, Dominique Tennstedt1 & Julien Lambert5 Practice Points Increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics makes the management of superficial skin infections a major medical challenge. Antiseptics have broader spectrums of antimicrobial activity and a reduced potential for selection of bacterial resistance, relative to antibiotics. Consequently, antiseptics are appropriate alternatives to antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of superficial skin infections. Of four widely used antiseptics (povidone iodine, polihexanide, chlorhexidine and octenidine), povidone iodine has a particularly broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Widespread and extended use of povidone iodine is not associated with the selection of resistant bacterial strains. In contrast, bacterial resistance to chlorhexidine, quaternary ammonium salts, silver and triclosan has been documented. Regarding duration of effect on healthy skin, chlorhexidine is active for 1–4 h, whereas solutions of povidone iodine are active for 12–14 h. Aqueous and hydroalcoholic formulations of povidone iodine have good skin tolerance. Povidone iodine scrub has better skin tolerance than soap formulations of chlorhexidine and quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g., benzalkonium chloride and
