摘要：

Quantitative suspension and carrier tests were used to compare the activity of Perasafe(R) and Cidex(R) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, Mycobacterium fortuitum, and Mycobacterium chelonae. The interference of an organic load, and of hard water was also considered. Both agents achieved reductions exceeding 10(5)-fold within 20 and 30 min for all the strains tested. Perasafe(R) is thus mycobactericidal and a viable alternative to Cidex(R) for intermediate or high-level disinfection. (C) 2003 The Hospital Infection Society. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
