Bacteriostatic activities of Newlox� (sodium hypochlorite solution, diluted.) , Tego 103, Zephiran, and Phenol were compared each other in vitro tests according to Kolmer's method by using the organisms of staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis, and Ps. aeruginosa.
1) Newlox� showed the strongest bacteriostatic activity against all strains and capable of killing: the E. coli, B. subtilis in 1, 000:1 dilution within 10 minutes, Staph. aureus within 20 minutes and Ps. aeruginosa within 1 minute in 300:1 dilution.
2) Tego 103 destroyed B. subtilis, Ps. aeruginosa within 5 minutes, Staph aureus within 10 minutes in 100:1 dilution and E. coli within 10 minutes in 500:1 dilution.
3) Zephiran was capable of killing the Staph. aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis within 20 minutes in 500:1 dilution and Ps. aeruginosa within 5 minutes in 200:1 dilution.
4) In this study, Phenol showed the least bacteriostatic activity. Staph. aureus and E. coli were destroyed on action with 100:1 solution for 20 minutes and B. subtilis and Ps. aeruginosa were destroyed on action with 100:1 solution for 10 minutes.
5) Expreased as the phenol-coefficient, Newloxz showed highest (range 3 to 10), and Zephiran (range 2 to 5) and Tego 103 (range 1 to 5), respectively.
