FIG. 1.

Comparison of fluorescent Mycobacterium marinum (5.95 × 108 CFU/mL) after exposure to 1 part per thousand (ppt) PVPI for 2 min (A) and 30 ppm sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min (B). Numerals represent exposure time in seconds (A) and minutes (B). Cultures grown on Middlebrook 7H11 media; circles indicate where bacteria were spotted onto the plate for testing. Sodium hypochlorite essentially eradicated M. marinum after 10 min, whereas PVPI had almost no effect. PVPI, povidone–iodine.
