Effective against biofilm

In vitro tests show that Hydrocyn aqua / Bactiguard Wound Care solution is effective against biofilm (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and MRSA) and reduces biofilm concentration up to 99,9 %.

Biofilm typeResult
Pseudomonas AeruginosaThe result shows a log reduction of more than 5.95 from the initial biofilm concentration and  effectively reduced biofilm by 99.9%.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)The result shows a log reduction of more than 4.4 from the initial biofilm concentration and effectively reduced biofilm by 99,99%.

The test was carried out demonstrate ASTM E2799-12, Standard Test Method for Testing Disinfectant Efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm using the MBEC Assay. Data on file.
