AB The authors address current issues regarding use of antiseptics and
disinfectants with particular emphasis on the problems associated with
claims made by manufacturers of various chemical agents. Other issues
include the efficacy and limitations of commercial products, selecting
the most appropriate formulation for proper disinfection, especially
with instruments that come in contact with the patient, and preventing
or minimizing iatrogenic infections in clinical practices. The authors
stress that low-level and some intermediate-level disinfectants are
unreliable because of their narrow safety margin and that chemical
agents with a high level of activity should be used by all practitioners
because of multi-drug resistant microorganisms and acquired immune
deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
