Dr. Michael P. Doyle, a food industry consultant and director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia, said one point on the exponential pH scale was a considerable difference, and "could have a significant effect on the antimicrobial effectiveness of the ammonia".
While higher MICs can diminish antimicrobial effectiveness, dose adjustments often mitigate this effect.
Despite its antimicrobial effectiveness and beneficial annual cost, the side-effects of exposure to glutaraldehyde demand a safe work environment and a training program to assure worker safety standards [ 13], as well as its neutralization before pouring solutions down the drain [ 14].
Antimicrobial effectiveness was demonstrated under conditions of increasing organic load.
However, activation of buffered 0.5%% sodium hypochlorite by PIPS significantly increased its antimicrobial effectiveness.
By comparing two very different cutaneous pathogens, we found other factors affect chitosan's antimicrobial effectiveness.
Host defence peptides (HDP), which are endogenous peptide antibiotics, show broad-spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness.
Functionalization with organoalkoxysilanes improves the antimicrobial effectiveness of AgNO3-PVP/APTMS/TEOS in a number of ways.
We therefore anticipated that the antimicrobial effectiveness of CHAT was linked to this chemical lability, with rapid dissolution of the nanoparticles allowing intracellular bacterial acquisition of copper ions.
To study the antimicrobial effectiveness of AgNP, we treated a bacterial concentration at high CFU (106/ml) with varying concentrations of AgNP from 0.2 to 100 μg/ml.
Furthermore, the antimicrobial effectiveness of the best system to preserve bacterial survival and permit nisin release was studied against Listeria monocytogenes.
