Abstract
Bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities of an emulsion containing 10.0% (v/v) terpineol, 0.5% (w/v) diphenyliodonium chloride, 11.0% (v/v) ethyl alcohol, and 5.62% saponified mustard oil were tested against a number of different types of organisms. The bactericidal concentration for
Salmonella typhosa
was 1:400. In the presence of 5.0% horse serum, it increased to 1:250. The bacteriostatic concentration varied from organism to organism;
Escherichia coli
and
Staphylococcus aureus
required 4,000 μg/ml for complete bacteriostasis, whereas
Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Salmonella paratyphi-A
, and
Shigella
required only 2,000 μg/ml for complete inhibition. A 4.0% concentration of the emulsion killed the spores of
Bacillus subtilis
within 6 hr.
