Efficacy of hydrogen peroxide vapor

Microbiology

Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapor technology is effective against a wide range of microbes, including bacteria, mould, fungi and viruses. This section provides a scientific profile and background data on many of the common types of microbes that exist.

Microbes

Exserohilum rostratum

Exserohilum is commonly found in soil and on plants, especially grasses, and thrives in warm and humid climates.

Acinetobacter baumannii

Acinetobacter sp. is an oxidase-negative, non-fermentative, Gram-negative rod, which commonly occurs in soil and can be an opportunist pathogen in man.

Aspergillus fumigatus

Aspergillus fumigatus is the primary cause of aspergillosis infection in humans. Although aspergillosis can be acquired in the community a large proportion of cases emerge from the hospital environment.

Avian influenza (bird flu)

There are 15 types of avian or bird flu. Most contagious and usually fatal in birds are the strains H5 and H7. Even within the H5N1 strain, variations have been seen throughout the different regions so far affected.

Bacillus Anthracis

Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive endospore-forming rod more commonly called “anthrax”. In 2001 the organism was used as part of a terrorist attack on the USA, where a highly virulent strain of anthrax was mailed to senators killing 5 people.

Candida albicans

Candida albicans is a yeast that is capable of shifting its morphology to suit a particular ecological niche.

Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic, Gram-positive, spore-forming rod, which can colonize the human gut and cause toxin-mediated, usually antibiotic-associated disease.

NAP1 / 027 Clostridium difficile

Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive endospore forming rod. C. difficile is a common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and its incidence has increased dramatically in recent years, particularly in hospitals.

Community associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus CA-MRSA

MRSA has typically been associated with nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infection. More recently, the epidemiology has changed and new MRSA strains have emerged causing infection in previously healthly individuals without previous healthcare contact

Enterobacter aerogenes

Enterobacter aerogenes is a Gram-negative rod-shaped microorganism from the Enterobacteriaceae family
