Microbiology

Bioquell hydrogen peroxide vapour 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

Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections (HCAIs).

Multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR-TB) are defined as being resistant to at least rifampicin and isoniazid antibiotic treatment, but may also have resistance to other anti-TB treatments (Kant et al., 2010)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an aerobic, acid-fast microorganism that has a highly unusual cell surface that is made up of various lipids and mycolic acid.

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.

Neisseria meningitidis

Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative diplococcus that is one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis.

New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase-1 NDM-1

New Delhi-metallo-lactamase 1 (NDM-1) is a gene conferring resistance to the carbapenems that was initially identified from a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae in New Delhi, India.

Norovirus

A non-enveloped single-stranded RNA virus, belonging to the family Caliciviridae, which causes acute gastroenteritis in humans.

Pandrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Acinetobacter baumannii is a non-fermentative aerobic Gram-negative rod.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative motile rod capable of causing infection in almost all of the body’s tissues. P. aeruginosa utilises a variety of virulence factors and can produce biofilms to aid attachment and dispersal and uses its flagella and pili to establish infections in the host (Lyczak et al., 2000).

Rotavirus

Rotavirus is a 70nm double stranded RNA virus of the family Reoviridae.
