Alcohols, particularly ethanol [64-17-5] and 2-propanol [67-63-9] are important disinfectants and antiseptics. In the aUphatic series of straight-chain alcohols, the antimicrobial activity increases with increasing molecular weight up to a maximum, depending on the organism tested. For Staphylococcus aureus the maximum activity occurs using amyl alcohol [71-41-0], for Salmonella typhosa, octyl alcohol [111-87-5], CgH gO (43) ioT Mycobacterium tuberculosis... 

The antimicrobial activity of thiosemicarbazones against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro was first reported by Domagk et al. [28] and later confirmed in vivo [29]. Screening revealed that only certain substituted be-nzaldehyde and heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones possess antitubercular activity [30-32]. The most widely used is p-acetamidobenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (trivial name = thiacetazone), 1.

The spectrum of respiratory tract infections (RTI) can vary from the common cold to acute or chronic bronchitis to community-acquired pneumonia to nosocomial pneumonia and aspiration pneumonia to ventilator-associated pneumonia to chronic pneumonia (in cystic fibrosis, histoplasmosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Important complications are lung abscess and pleural empyema that will often need drainage and prolonged antimicrobial treatment (>6 weeks).

The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the efficacy of a silver composition of the present invention against the bacteria that cause tuberculosis. This example describes the procedures for evaluation of the present invention for tuberculocidal efficacy. The methodology is based on the Tuberculocidal Activity Test Method as accepted by the EPAon Dec. 11, 1985. [Refer to United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1986. Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances. Data Call-In Notice for Tubercuolocidal Effectiveness Data for All Antimicrobial Pesticides with Tuberculocidal Claims. (Received Jun. 13, 1986).
