Abstract
Some commercially manufactured disinfectants tested (Desur, Dezox, Die sen forte, Lysoformin 3000, Sokrena, Topax 91) depressed Pseudomonas a eruginosa virulence factors (elastase and proteinase), Nobacel did not . The degree of inhibition was directly proportional to the disinfecta nt concentration. The most effective concentrations were 1/4 of the MI Cs. Topax 91 most significantly suppressed proteinase activity (20.3%) , Dezox was the most efficient in case of elastase (47.8%).
