To test the final microorganisms at different concentrations of the disinfectant to be tested by being prepared as 2-5 x 10(9) CFU/mL according to the McFarland 5 cloudiness of test disinfectant. After disinfectants were activated with microorganisms at previously experimented 30 s, 1, 5, 15 and 30 min periods, colony counts at 1 mL. Levels were performed by way of cast-cultural plaque method. Consequently, it was determined that 100 % concentration of alcohol based skin and hand disinfectant was effective against Staphylococcus aureus in 1 min, while other test microorganisms were effective in 30 s.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAlcoholDisinfectantMicroorganismArticle231044774479Q4WOS:000296218600061Q4
