Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (1816-1865)
• In 1847, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis's close friend, Jakob Kolletschka, cuts his finger while he's doing an autopsy
• Kolletschka soon dies of symptoms like those of puerperal fever leading Ignaz Semmelweis to pioneer antiseptic policy
– Chlorinated lime

Joseph Lister
• Joseph Lister (1827-1912)
– Joseph Lister had been convinced of the importance of scrupulous cleanliness and the usefulness of deodorants in the operating room; and when, through Pasteur's researches, he realized that the formation of pus was due to bacteria, he proceeded to develop his antiseptic surgical method.
– Carbolic acid (phenol)

Nitrates/Nitrites
•NaNO3/NO2 are added to meat products (ham,
bacon, hot dogs etc.)
•Salts prevents growth of some types of bacteria
that are responsible for meat spoilage

Nitrates in food
•Salts prevent bacterial growth via the drying effect (most
bacteria require substantial amounts of moisture to live/grow)
•A preference developed for certain salts that produced a pink
color and special flavor in meat
•Near the turn of the century it was determined that sodium
nitrate was responsible for this special and flavor
•Nitrate changes to nitrite by bacterial action during
processing and storage
![Page 52: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Nitrates in food Nitrite in meat greatly delays the development of
botulinal toxin (botulism)
Sugar is added to cured meats as well to reduce the
harshness of salts
Sodium nitrite (NaNO2), rather than sodium nitrate
(NaNO3), is commonly used for curing
NO2 is converted to Nitric oxide
Nitric oxide combines with myoglobin (responsible
for the natural red color of uncured meat)

Disinfectants The earliest recorded example of chemical
disinfection is the use of copper or silver vessels,
instead of pottery ones, to store drinking water to
prevent it becoming foul
This innovation was introduced about 450 BC by the
Persians
Both copper and silver have significant antimicrobial
activity, although neither is much used for
disinfection purposes today because of their toxicity
![Page 58: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Disinfectants
Other ancient disinfectants, used mainly for
topical treatment of wounds were wine, vinegar
and honey, while wine and honey now tend to be
used internally, vinegar, or rather its active
ingredient, dilute acetic acid, has been revived
as a wound dressing where antibiotic resistant
Pseudomonas bacteria are a problem
![Page 59: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Disinfectants Mercuric chloride was introduced as a wound
dressing in the Middle Ages by the Arabs, but it was
not until the 18th and 19th centuries that great
strides forward in chemical disinfection were made
with the introduction of a range of chemicals such as
copper sulphate (1767), bleaching powder (1798),
creosote (literally, 'flesh-saviour' from the Greek;
1836), iodine (1839), chlorine water (1843) and
phenol (1860)
Today, some of these are still used for some
disinfection purposes, and there is a large array of
more modern chemicals

TYPES OF
DISINFECTANTS • Phenol and phenolics
• Chlorhexidine
• Halogens
• Alcohols
• Heavy metals

TYPES OF
DISINFECTANTS
• Surfactants
• Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats)
• Organic acids
• Aldehydes
![Page 62: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Chemical Methods -
Disinfectants • Alcohols
– 70% ethanol, or isopropanol (“rubbing alcohol)
– Mode of action: Protein denaturation &
coagulation therefore� membrane disruption
– Advantage of evaporation after disinfection
– Poor effect on wounds! Superficial coagulation
of proteins → secludes deeper layers of
microbes
![Page 63: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and
Isopropanol
most frequently used alcohols
Ethanol: CH3CH2—OH Isopropanol: CH3—CH—OH
CH3
![Page 64: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Effect Ethanol Alcohols kill vegetative forms of bacteria (including
TB) and fungi, but have no action on spores or
viruses
Their effect depend on concentration and type of
alcohol
The following three solutions have similar effect:
Ethanol 70% , isopropanol 60% and n-propanol 40%
70-80% alcohol inactivates HIV and Hepatitis B in 2-
10 minutes.
![Page 65: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
How does it work?
Alcohols precipitate proteins and solubilize
lipids present in cell membranes
It has a rapid action
Contact time should preferably be 10-30
minutes
![Page 66: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Phenols These compounds, derived from coal tar, were first
used as wound dressings, but today have a wide use as
general disinfectants
Examples are 'Lysol' (cresol and soap solution) and
'Stericol' (xylenol-rich cresylic acid and soap
solution), both of which are active against viruses and
bacteria but less active against bacterial spores.
![Page 67: CONTROL OF MICROBIAL GROWTH - libvolume1.xyzlibvolume1.xyz/.../microbialcontrol/microbialcontrolpresentation2.pdf · Microbial Control • Ignatz Semmelweis (18161865) • In 1847,](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040407/5eaaa5e9fc11d2531f7f6d2c/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Phenolics and QUATS
Since Lister showed in 1867 that phenol (carbolic
acid) would kill microorganisms, many chemicals
have been tested for this purpose
Phenols are considered to be low-intermediate level
disinfectants
Phenol no longer used as a disinfectant because of
its toxicity to tissues
Many non-pathogens attack organic matter,
producing chemicals which may be highly odorous,
corrosive or staining

Chemical Methods -
Disinfectants • Halogens
– Iodine I2
– Halogenation of microbial proteins
– Iodine tincture (solution in diluted alcohols)
– Iodophores – organic molecules slowly releasing I2, less staining than straight I2 preparations (e.g. Betadine®, Isodine®)
– Extremely effective, skin disinfection, wound treatment (I2 tablets water treatment)
