M. ORSZÁGOVÁ, A. DOBOŠ, J. MARCINA, J. HUDEC

The authors have carried out a series of experiments to assess the disinfecting efficiency of Septonex which is one of quatenary compounds of ammonium. They have used the following strains of yeast: Bratislava 1, Candida tropicalis, Torulopsis inconspicua. Both the Koch method and determination of phenol coefficient have been applied to evaluate the results. It has been found that the 0.05% concentration kills in 30 minuts all mentioned strains. Several reports published in literature indicate that quaternary ammonium can be also used to inhibit activity of bacteria.
