The overuse of surface disinfectants has been shown to lead to increased microbial resistance, often due to their incorrect application. The aim of this work was to develop and investigate the use of an indicative detection kit for hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectants on porous and non-porous surfaces. The detection kit allows for the detection of the disinfectant up to 7 days after its application, resulting in a colour change from transparent to yellow-orange on both on porous and non-porous surfaces. Concurrent antimicrobial tests were performed to establish the correlation between the colour change and the retention of the disinfectant on the surfaces, thereby confirming the maintenance of its antimicrobial efficacy. KEY POINTS: Increased microbial resistance often results from overuse of disinfectants. CUsKit is a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant detection kit. CUsKit is an excellent option to prove the presence of disinfectants.
表面消毒剂的过度使用已被证明会导致微生物耐药性增加,这通常是由于其使用不当造成的。这项工作的目的是开发并研究一种用于检测多孔和无孔表面上基于过氧化氢的消毒剂的指示性检测试剂盒。该检测试剂盒能够在消毒剂使用后长达7天内检测到它,在多孔和无孔表面上都会导致颜色从透明变为橙黄色。同时进行了抗菌测试,以确定颜色变化与消毒剂在表面上的残留之间的相关性,从而确认其抗菌效果的维持情况。关键点:微生物耐药性增加通常是由消毒剂过度使用导致的。CUsKit是一种基于过氧化氢的消毒剂检测试剂盒。CUsKit是证明消毒剂存在的绝佳选择。
