Abstract
A number of chemical preparations in recent years are used as disinfectants and antiseptics. Disinfectants are chemicals that act as microbicides or microbiostatics of objects and the environment. They are present on the market as finished industrial products obtained in different concentrations and forms depending of its purpose. In the composition of disinfectants enter a wide variety of active chemical agents (biocides). According to their chemical composition they represent alcohols, aldehydes, anilides, biguanides, diamines, halogen release agents, silver compounds, peroxides, phenols, bis-phenols, halophenols, quaternary ammonium compounds, volatile compounds for sterilization. Biocide is a general term describing a chemical agent, usually with a broad spectrum of activity that inactivates microorganisms. The biocide activity is within the antimicrobial activity, but depending on the circumstances may have "static" activity directed to agents that inhibit growth (bacteriostatic, fungistatic and sporostatic), and also "cidal" activity directed to agents that completely destroy all microorganisms present (bactericidal, sporocidal, fungicidal). The antiseptics are chemicals that are safely used for disinfection of skin and mucous membrane contact (McDonnell and Russell, 1999).
Intra-hospital or nosocomial infections are caused by organisms acquired during hospitalization of the patients and clinically manifest from 48 to 72 hours after their administration (Rutala at al.,2008).
