BACTERICIDAL EFFICIENCY OF "EPIDEZ" ON MICROORGANISMS THAT FORM BIOFILMS
A number of microorganisms are capable of forming of biofilm as a mechanism of natural protection from the harmful effects of physical, chemical and biological factors. Purpose was to study the effectiveness of different concentrations of disinfectants "Epidez" on bacteria that are able to form biofilms. Work carried out using microbiological and biostatistical methods. It was established that the usefulness of microorganisms to form biofilms makes them very resistant to the action of disinfectants, including "Epidez." The data on increased resistance S. aureus, P. fluorescens and E. coli to the disinfectant action should be considered during final disinfection in affected areas for the respective diseases.
