Efficacy of Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide against important healthcare-associated pathogens
Rutala AJIC June 2010 Role of the Environment
This article focuses on the role of surface contamination in the transmission of 3 emerging nosocomialpathogens: Norovirus, C. difficile, and Acinetobacter spp and literature supporting the use of EPA registered disinfectants for helping to control environmental transmission.

AJIC - Omidbakhsh Sporicidal Activity of Surface Disinfectants Nov 2010
Available and fast-acting sporicides are generally corrosive and unsafe for both humans and the environment. The objective of the study was to compare a newly developed AHP-based Surface Sporicidal Agent that carries superior occupational health and compatibility profiles with to differing concentrations of Chlorine bleach.

Survey of HBsAg-positive pregnant women and their infants regarding measures to prevent maternal-infantile transmission
Modeling microbial survival in buildup biofilm for complex medical devices
Identification by Quantitative Carrier Test of Surrogate Spore-Forming Bacteria To assess Sporicidal Chemicals for Use against Bacillus anthracis
Six strains of Bacillus anthracis (four virulent and two avirulent) were compared with four other types of spore-forming bacteria for their resistance to liquid chemical sporicides (sodium hypochlorite, accelerated hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide and peracetic acid).

An Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide Based Microbicide for Manual Disinfection of Heat Sensitive Semi-Critical Medical Devices
The focus of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity, stability and materials compatibility of a newly-developed AHP-based high level disinfectant in simulated reuse conditions.

Is skin irritancy of the hand wash products solely related to their pH?
The study was designed to dispel the long-held notion that pH levels were directly related to skin irritancy through a scientific examination of the effects of pH on skin of five formulations.
