Effectiveness and real-world materials compatibility of a novel hydrogen peroxide disinfectant cleaner - 18/11/21
Highlights |
• | Many sporicidal disinfectants have limitations that discourage widespread use. |
• | We tested effectiveness of a hydrogen peroxide disinfectant cleaner. |
• | The product was effective against Clostridioides difficile spores and Candida auris. |
• | The disinfectant did not cause fading or loss of pliability of a mattress. |
Abstract |
A novel 4% hydrogen peroxide disinfectant was effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridioides difficile spores, carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, and 2 strains of Candida auris. In laboratory testing, a sodium hypochlorite disinfectant caused fading and loss of pliability of a hospital mattress, but the hydrogen peroxide disinfectant did not. These findings suggest that the hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant may be a useful addition to the sporicidal disinfectant products available for use in healthcare settings.
