Efficacy of Five Disinfectant Products Commonly Used in Pig Herds against a Panel of Bacteria Sensitive and Resistant to Selected Antimicrobials

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern worldwide in both human and veterinary medicine. Biosecurity and the ability to limit bacterial contamination on farms are crucial in the fight against disease, including AMR bacteria. This study aimed to investigate whether the recommended concentrations of five commercial disinfectants (A to E) were sufficient to inhibit growth and inactivate a panel of bacterial strains, including some that carry multidrug resistance to selected antimicrobials. The effectiveness of each disinfectant was expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The results indicate that the type of disinfectant and its concentration influence the inhibitory and bactericidal efficacy
