Bactericidal Efficacy of Vital-Oxide^®, Disinfectant Solution Against Salmonella Typhimurium and Brucella Ovis

Abstract

Salmonella spp. and Brucella spp. have caused a considerable disease of farmed animals and economic loss in animal farming and food industry. In this study, the disinfection efficacy of Vital-Oxidel ® , a commercial disinfectant, composed to chlorine dioxide, betaine hydrochloride, and propylene glycol was evaluated against S. typhimurium and Brucella ovis. A bactericidal efficacy test by broth dilution method was used to determine the lowest effective dilution of the disinfectant following exposure to test bacteria for 30 min at 4 o C. Vital-Oixdel ® and test bacteria were diluted with distilled water (DW), hard water (HW) or organic matter suspension (OM) according to treatment condition. On OM condition, the bactericidal activity of Vital-Oixdel ® against S. typhimurium and Brucella ovis was lowered compared to that on HW condition. As Vital-Oxidel ® possesses bactericidal efficacy against animal pathogenic bacteria such as S. typhimurium and Brucella ovis, this disinfectant solution can be used to control the spread of bacterial diseases.

Decontamination Efficacy and Skin Toxicity of Two Decontaminants against Bacillus anthracis

“…The chlorine dioxide decontaminant was a gift from Vital Solutions, LLC, West Palm Beach, Florida. This test decontaminant is similar to a commercially available product called Vital Oxide® (Vital Solutions, LLC, West Palm Beach, Florida) which is a disinfectant composed of a stabilized form of chlorine dioxide, betaine hydrochloride and propylene glycol[ 26 ]. This product tested is not currently commercially available, it should be noted the commercially available Vital Oxide does not have the same level of sporicidal activity as the product disinfectant tested.…”

Development of an Automated Measurement System for Dilution Process and Spraying Amount of Disinfectant

“…Salmonella and brucella have been inducing serious disease to livestock, and causing great economical damage to livestock industry as well as food industry. Cha et al (2012) studied bactericidal efficacy of vital-oxide, disinfectant solution against salmonella typhimurium and brucella ovis. In their study, they used broth dilution method, and exposed salmonella typhimurium and brucella ovis to various levels of diluted disinfectant at 4℃ for 30 minutes, and selected the most efficient and the lowest dilution rate of disinfectant by the test results.…”

Bactericidal Efficacies of an Aquatic Disinfectant Tablet Composed to Calcium Hypochlorite Against Vibrio anguillarum and Streptococcus iniae

“…The cleaning and disinfectant regimes depend on the proper use of biocides, and there is the concern that the resulting increased use of biocides in fish farming, food production, and hospital settings, and the home could contribute to the selection of antibiotic-resistant strains as some mechanisms of biocide resistance also confer antibiotic resistance 15) . Biocides are often composed of a mixture of ingredients that act upon *Correspondence to: Hu-Jang Lee, DVM, MPH, PhD, College of Veterinary Medicine, Gyeongsang National University, 900 Gajwadong, Chinju 660-701, Korea Tel: 82-55-772-2352, Fax: 82-55-772-2308 E-mail: hujang@gnu.ac.kr a wide range of cellular mechanisms and targets, which makes it difficult for bacteria to become resistant to biocides 16) .
