| abstract |
Antibacterial compositions are provided that can be used in any location where a disinfecting composition is needed, such as hospitals, medical industries, workplaces, recreational facilities, homes or similar environments. The antibacterial composition is particularly useful for topical use on a substrate such as the skin and can be used as a hand disinfectant or pre-surgery disinfectant. The composition consists of a synergistic combination of a simple fatty alcohol and an activity enhancer. While the composition moisturizes the skin, it exhibits a long-lasting activity against a wide variety of microorganisms including gram-negative bacteria. [Selection figure] None |
