Background: The presence of microbial agents on different hospital surfaces is considered a harmful factor to health. The use of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) for health purposes has been evaluated in more than 50 countries. The present study aimed to assess the disinfection effect of Sanitizon solutions and common disinfectants (Sayasept HP and Sayasept 420) on the reduction of microbial load in Shohada-ye Ashayer Hospital, Khorram Abad.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 200 samples from intensive care units were prepared and studied in seven experimental groups (one control group and six different types of disincentives) in six different hospital departments. The samples were cultured on specific culture media. The results were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23). The germicidal power of disinfectants was investigated according to standard 10504 and diffusion method in agar.
Results: The use of disinfectants caused a significant decrease in the microbial load compared to the control group. Disinfection solutions led to a decrease in the number of colonies from 113 to 12. Moreover, all disinfectants had germicidal and fungicidal power according to the standard (reduction of four logarithms of bacteria). The Sanitizon solution succeeded in removing all microorganisms and reducing more than seven logarithms of test microorganisms. Sanitizon caused a more marked reduction of gram-negative bacteria and fungi compared to other disinfectants.
Conclusion: As evidenced by the results, Sanitizon can be used along with other common disinfectant products to clean surfaces. The intermittent use of disinfectants with different active substances reduces the probability of resistance in microorganisms.
