C. difficile Spore Inactivation
AJIC: American Journal of Infection Control. 33(6):320-325, August 2005. Perez, Justo PhD; Springthorpe, V. Susan MSc; Sattar, Syed A. PhD
Excerpt:“Clostridium difficile is an increasingly common nosocomial pathogen, and its spores are resistant to common environmental surface disinfectants. Many high-level disinfectants (eg, aldehydes) are unsuitable for environmental decontamination because they need several hours of contact to be sporicidal. This study tested the potential of selected oxidative microbicides to inactivate C difficile spores on hard surfaces in relatively short contact times at room temperature. ”
