Abstract:
Discussing formulations that have broad applications for both medical equipment disinfection and antisepsis, the Handbook of Disinfectants and Antiseptics shows how to test the potency of germicides, including topical antiseptics and disinfectants...illustrates the use of neutralizers in antimicrobial efficacy studies...explains the role of antiseptics in infection control and the use of disinfectants for dentistry and contact lenses...covers chlorine, iodine, and glutaraldehyde-based disinfectants...reviews the validity of alcohols as cutaneous antiseptics...elucidates the anti-microbial effects of hydrogen peroxide...and much more.
Written by experts from both industry and academia and containing over 1000 bibliographic citations, tables, and drawings, the Handbook of Disinfectants and Antiseptics is an excellent resource for microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, infection control nurses, epidemiologists, toxicologists, chemists, pharmacologists, quality control personnel, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
