Antimicrobial agents don t necessarily fall into only one category. For example, a stedlant under various conditions that could affect its action, such as time, temperature, pH, concentration, and presence of organic matter, might become less potent and act only as a disinfectant, a bactericide, or a sanitizer. Likewise, the reverse situation is also possible—a weaker agent under favorable conditions can exert greater activity and move up in category. 

Whereas tests (186) indicated that ampholytes were effective in skin cleansing for preoperative use, for wound cleansing, and as an antiseptic in the oral cavity (187), as well as other medical appHcations, the food and beverage industries have proved to be the principal employers of these compounds. Ampholytes are used as sanitizers and disinfectants, not as food preservatives. Low toxicity, absence of skin irritation, and noncorrosiveness, along with antimicrobial activity, has given ampholytes acceptance in dairies, meat plants, and the brewing and soft drink industries. These disinfectants have been manufactured and distributed in Europe and Japan, but not in the United States. 

Hygiene and sanitation play an important role in the transmission of microbe infections. At the same time, new and more effective antimicrobials are being developed ... 

There are many applications in the medical and food sanitization fields for which antimicrobial surface coatings are needed. There are commercially available products making antibacterial claims, but they are limited in their applications by such factors as a poor spectra of activity, high cost, and toxicity. Work in the laboratories at Auburn Uifiversity over the past two decades has established a novel class of heterocyclic orgaific compounds termed A-halamines that have been demonstrated to be excellent antimicrobial materials for a broad variety of applications. 

Diazoimidazole-5-carboxylic acid esters have inhibitory activity in several different types of microorganisms. They can be used as sanitizing compounds (72USP3654257). In particular, methyl 4-diazoimidazole-5-carboxylate showed antimicrobial activity towards strains of microorganisms resistant to the action of certain known chemotherapeutic agents.

Don a fresh pair of sterile gloves. Sanitize all interior hood surfaces with a QC-approved antimicrobial agent ... 

Using a QC-approved antimicrobial agent, sanitize the exterior surfaces of the sample container by spraying with the agent until visibly wet or wiping the surfaces with a sterile, lint-free, agent-soaked towel. Put all the samples to be tested under the hood. Allow surfaces to dry before testing. 

Additives produced by Sanitized for the protection of plastics against microbial attack are reviewed, with particular reference to the EPL 91-35 antimicrobial agent for PVC products. The advantages of using this additive in PVC floor coverings are examined.
