The present invention provides microbe disinfectants, providing: Drug-resistant microbe disinfectants comprising a chlorous acid aqueous solution for inactivating microbes selected from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus; and microbe disinfectants, which are made with acidity when applied to gram-negative microbes and with alkalinity when applied to gram-positive microbes. The microbes comprise at least one species of microbes selected from the group consisting of E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, microbes of genus Bacillus, microbes of genus Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus, Salmonella enterica, and periodontal disease microbes. The present invention is usable as a microbe disinfectant that is safe to human body and easy to handle as a microbe disinfectant for pretreatment in food processing and produces chlorous acid that generates little chlorine dioxide. The microbe disinfectant comprising a chlorous acid aqueous solution of the present invention can be utilized as a sterilizing agent, food additive, antiseptic, quasi-drug, medicine, etc. |
