| Summary: | Escherichia coli 0157: H7 is one of well-known pathogen that causes foodborne disease. The efficiency of
latest commercial detergents in inhibiting and killing E. coli 0157: H7 has not been fully elucidated. The
detergents can lose their efficiency and leads to bacterial survival rates increase. The main aim for this study is to ascertain the efficiency of selected commercial detergents to inhibit or kill E. co/i 0157: H7. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration on different concentration of
varied brands detergents were compared. Six out of eight detergents showed a minimum inhibitory and
bactericidal properties against E. coli 0157: H7. Among the tested commercial detergents, Sunlight showed
the most efficient detergent by having lowest minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration. Only Good
Maid and Top did not show any bactericidal properties against E. coli 0157: H7. This study is important to
clarify the efficiency of commercial detergents for our knowledge of both public and environmental health
for making a right choice in cleaning activity |
