Evaluation of Bactericidal and BacteriostaticRajsingh467604
What are disinfectants?
As per the definition given by WHO ( World health organization ) : a disinfectant is a chemical agent, which destroys or inhibits growth of pathogenic microorganisms in the non-sporing or vegetative state.
Why Evaluation?
Evaluation of disinfectants is used to check the ability or efficacy of any disinfectant against specific microorganisms to establish its effectiveness.
Evaluation tests of bactericide.
1. RIDEAL WALKER TEST
This test is also known as the phenol coefficient test,in which any chemical is compared with phenol for its antimicrobial activity.
The result is shown in the form of phenol coefficient.
▪ If a phenol coefficient of a given test disinfectant is less than 1, it means that disinfectant is less effective than phenol.
▪ If a phenol coefficient of a given test disinfectant is more than 1, it means that disinfectant is more effective than phenol.
Procedure
1.1 Different dilutions of the test disinfectant and phenol are prepared and 5 ml of each dilution is inoculated with 0.5ml of the 24 hour growth culture of the organisms.
1.2 All tubes(Disinfectant + organisms & phenol + organisms) are placed in a water bath ( at 17.5° C)
1.3 Subcultures of each reaction mixture are taken and transferred to 5ml sterile broth at an interval of 2.5 minutes from zero to 10 mintues.
1.4 Broth tubes are incubated at 37° C for 2 to 3 days & examined for the presence or absence of the growth.
1.5 Then the Rideal Walker coefficient is calculated :
2. CHICK MARTIN TEST.
CHICK MARTIN test is performed in the much similar way as the RIDEAL Walker test but with a little variation.
Principle : This test is carried out in the presence of organic matter like 3% human feces or dried yeast.
Procedure
2.1 Serial dilutions of test solution and phenol is prepared in distilled water.
2.2 To this 3% yeast suspension is also added.
2.3 To this solution the S. typhi is added
2.4 After contact time of 30 mins the above mixture is transferred to the freshly prepared 10 ml of broth.
2.5 The test tubes are incubated at 37°C for 48 hours.
2.6 Presence or absence of the growth is calculated.
Evaluation tests of Bacteriostatic.
1. Tube dilution & Agar plate Method
1.1 The chemical agent is incorporated into nutrient broth or agar medium and inoculated with test micro-organisms.
1.2 These tubes are incubated at 30° TO 35°C for 2 to 3 days and then the results in the form of turbidity or colonies are observed.
1.3 The results are recorded and the activity of the given disinfectant is compared.
2. Cup plate method
2.1 Agar is melted and cooled at 45° Celsius.
2.2 Then inoculated with test micro-organisms and poured into a sterile petri plate.
2.3 In the cup plate method, when the inoculated agar has solidified, holes around 8mm in diameter are cut in the medium with a steel cork borer.
2.4 Now the antimicrobial agents are directly placed in the holes.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

3. INTRODUCTION
Chemical disinfectants are categorized based on the power of their disinfection
for microbes and viruses. Strong disinfectants can kill fungi, vegetative cells, endospores,
and pathogens. Extended use of disinfectants can result in sterilization. Intermediate-level
disinfectants are less effective against certain viruses and endospores. Low-level
disinfectants are ineffective against endospores and can kill some enveloped viruses and
vegetative cells. The measure of the power of disinfection is required to appropriately suggest
the application of a particular disinfectant. The effectiveness of chemical disinfectants can be
measured using different methods, such as qualitative suspension test, quantitative
suspension test, Dilution test, Kelsey Sykes test, surface time kill test, etc. The phenol
coefficient is one of the methods to determine the effectiveness of a disinfectant.
4. DEFINITION OF PHENOL COEFFICIENT
The measure of the disinfecting power of a substance, determined by dividing the figure indicating
the degree of dilution of the disinfectant that kills a microorganism within a given time by that
indicating the degree of dilution of phenol killing the microorganism under similar conditions.
The number obtained by dividing the degree of dilution of test disinfectant by the degree of dilution
of phenol in a certain span of time.
5. • If the number is greater than 1, it
means that for given dilution, the
test disinfectant is more powerful
and can kill germs better than
phenol. If the number obtained is
less than 1, it means that for the
given dilution, phenol is better at
controlling germs
6. WHAT IS PHENOL COEFFICIENT
Phenol is an aromatic compound and a carboxylic acid whose formula is C6H6O. Its structure is shown in
the figure below:
Figure :Structure of phenol
7. WHAT IS PHENOL COEFFICIENT
Phenol is recognized as one of the oldest antiseptic agents with excellent antifungal and antibacterial
properties. At concentrations of 0.1 % to 1 %, it is bacteriostatic. At higher concentrations (from 1% to 2%),
2%), phenol is fungicidal and bactericidal. Phenol can kill Anthrax spores (which cause severe skin lesions,
lung infections, and intestine diseases) at 5% concentration within 48 hours.
Although phenol has excellent antiseptic properties, it is not used as a common antiseptic due to its
systemic toxicity on the skin. Death can result from oral ingestion in significant quantities. Thus phenol is
used for comparison of the power of disinfection of other disinfectants such as chlorine, ozone, hydrogen
peroxide, etc.
8. CALCULATION OF PHENOL COEFFICIENT
Phenol coefficient is a number obtained by dividing dilution ratio test disinfectant with the dilution ratio of
phenol under predetermined conditions.
For instance, suppose phenol diluted to 1 part in 100 parts of diluent (1/100) is able to kill an organism in 10
minutes. Another disinfectant is diluted 1 part in 500 parts diluent (1/500) is able to kill organisms at the same
time. So the phenol coefficient can be calculated as follows:
Thus, the phenol coefficient is 5. It means that the test disinfectant is stronger than phenol in terms of
disinfection.

9. PHENOL COEFFICIENT TEST
Two types of phenol coefficient tests are done:
1. Rideal Walker method for phenol coefficient determination
2. Chick Martin test
10. RIDEAL WALKER METHOD
In 1903, Rideal Walker proposed a method to determine the power of a disinfectant in comparison with
phenol.
11. RIDEAL WALKER METHOD
The phenol coefficient can be calculated as:
The limitation of the Rideal Walker method is that it does not account for the presence of
any organic matter. Moreover, the time for disinfection testing is too short. This test is used only to
determine the power of phenolic type disinfectants only.
12. CHICK MARTIN TEST
Chick martin test incorporates the presence of organic matter as the test is not carried out in the
water but yeast suspension or 4% dried human feces. The total time of the test is 30 minutes.
Both S. typhi and S. aureus cultures are used to test the efficacy of disinfectants. The calculation
method is the same as that Rideal Walker test.
13. FACTORS AFFECTING PHENOL
COEFFICIENT TEST
Four major factors affect the disinfectants and thus produce wrong results for phenol coefficient
tests. These factors are temperature, pH, surface activity, and the presence of interfering
substances. An increase in temperature has shown increased disinfectant properties. Optimal
growth is achieved at pH between 6 to 8; thus, the recommended pH for the tests is 7.5. The
surface-active compounds in low concentrations may increase the disinfectant power. Interfering
substances such as certain salts may hinder disinfectant activity
14. CONCLUSION
The phenol coefficient tests are designed specifically for determining the disinfection power of
phenol-like disinfectants. However, it has been observed that the phenol coefficient is used for
other purposes for which it is not applicable. Some chemicals whose structure and properties are
completely different from phenol but are germicides (such as chlorine, picric acid, hydrogen
peroxide, formalin, iodine, etc.) have been compared with phenol. In some cases, water-insoluble
compounds are compared with phenol either in their pure form or diluted in other kinds of
solvents. Such misuse of phenol coefficient creates confusion. It is also not recommended to use
phenol coefficient for testing antiseptics because antiseptics are not used to kill Bacillus
typhosus usually used in phenol tests. Different antiseptics kill different bacteria with varying
antiseptic power. One example is tincture iodine, which is 760 times more disinfecting compared to
5 % phenol solution. However, in reality, tincture iodine is not 760 times more germicidal than 5 %
phenol in practical conditions.
