Evaluation of Mycobactericidal Activity
Studies to determine mycobactericidal activity in disinfectants and antiseptic products are actually not a long-standing study. Analyzes are carried out to determine mycobactericidal activity, especially in products used in the veterinary field.The strains used in the analyzes for the determination of mycobactericidal activity are as follows.
- Mycobacterium avium
- Mycobacterium intracellulare (MAI)
- Mycobacterium kansasii
- Mycobacterium chelonae
Detection of mycobactericidal activity in biocidal products are necessary tests at the registration stages. Mycobacteria are resistant to disinfectants and are pathogenic microorganisms. For this reason, it is an important analysis that should be done in biocidal products that claim to have mycobactericidal effect.
