Figure 1. — Efficacy of disinfectants against viable Bacillus spores. Hypochlorit-CA G/0.5 Alcapur^® (1.5% chlorine, white), Wofasteril^® SC super/1.5% Alcapur^® (1.75% peracetic acid, light grey), and Wofasteril^®/0.5% Alcapur^® N (2% peracetic acid, dark grey) were tested using the “covering with mechanical action” technique on PPE material TESIMAX S3 PE-T with 5 minutes of contact time (n = 3). Graphs show log₁₀ reduction of disinfectant against B. thuringiensis (A), B. cereus (B), or B. anthracis Sterne spores (C) and highly pathogenic B. anthracis 11/38 (D), or B. anthracis 22/39 spores (E) at room temperature with an organic burden of 0.3% BSA. Grey horizontal bars represent the range of successful disinfection. Dotted lines indicate maximal achievable reduction for each corresponding experimental approach.
