Abstract

The antimicrobial properties of various chemical compounds are significantly different. These differences are determined as the properties of the chemical compound and the properties of applied microorganisms. To determine the antimicrobial activity and establish the minimum effective concentrations of the most common chemical compounds, the Research Institute for Disinfectology of the Federal Service on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare Supervision Rospotrebnadzor conducted extensive research. The antimicrobial properties of chemical compounds were studied in relation to the main test microorganisms - gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fungi, mold, viruses. The results obtained allowed establishing the minimum effective concentration for 9 chemical compounds in relation to 10 test microorganisms.
