Evaluation of the effect of Savlon (Cetrimide-C), Surfoseptand Sodium hypochlorite disinfectants on Klebsiella pneumoniae isolatedfrom patients

Background and Aim : Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic and pathogenic pathogen thatcauses hospital infections. Pollution of environmental surfaces and its transmission is an effectivefactor in the development and spread of hospital infections, so it is necessary to eliminate bacteriafrom the hospital environment, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae. The use of disinfectants iseffective in preventing and controlling hospital infections. In this research the effect of threedisinfectants, Savlon (Cetrimide-C), Surfosept and Sodium hypochlorite with dilutions accordingto the manufacturer's instructions on the growth of a number of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolatesfrom infectious urine samples has been investigated.Methods : Urine samples from people with urinary tract infections were subjected to biochemicaland PCR method confirmation tests for the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and after culture,an approximate concentration of half McFarland was prepared from them. Then, the dilution effectof each disinfectant according to the instructions of the manufacturer was tested on ۱۵ isolates bythe Pour Plate Method in ۵, ۱۰, ۱۵ minutes; The growth and non-growth of bacteria after thesetimes were examined.Results : Savlon (Cetrimide-C), Surfosept and Sodium hypochlorite disinfectants inhibited thegrowth of all ۱۵ strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients in ۵, ۱۰, ۱۵ minutes.Conclusion : Therefore, the above three disinfectants are used in laboratories and health centers.They were completely effective and efficient.
