Disinfection activity coefficient of solution - DACS in relation to microbial activity of disinfectants on staphylococcus aureus

Knowing antiseptic activity of chemical disinfectant substances has great practical value. It is evidential that there is the need for defining parameter for comparing various chemical aqueous disinfectants. Phenol coefficient shows how many times bactericidal activity of examined disinfectant is greater or lower than bactericidal activity of standard phenol solution (5%). Suitability of phenol coefficient for evaluation of nonphenolic disinfectants is still opened question.
