Microbiology
"...we have demonstrated that ESAW and EWAW have powerful microbicidal activities and can be used safely, after mechanical cleaning, for the disinfection of upper-gastrointestinal endoscopes."
Effects of stabilized hypochlorous acid on oral biofilm bacteria
"At low concentrations and with exposure times which could be achieved through oral rinsing, HOCl stabilized with HAc had a robust antimicrobial activity on oral biofilms, without causing erosion of HA surfaces or affecting viability of oral keratinocytes. This substance thus appears to offer potential for prevention and/or treatment of oral biofilm-mediated diseases."
Effectiveness of Hypochlorous Acid to Reduce the Biofilms on Titanium Alloy Surfaces in Vitro
"All the irrigants showed antibacterial activity and killed the majority of bacteria on the titanium alloy surfaces of biofilm-contaminated implants. Moreover, HOCl significantly lowered the LPS concentration of P. gingivalis when compared with NaOCl and CHX. Thus, a HOCl antiseptic may be effective for cleaning biofilm-contaminated implant surfaces."
Efficacy of HOCl fogging treatment in environmental decontamination
"HOCl fog is safe and simple to use, and can reduce levels of nosocomial pathogens by a factor of almost 107. It is worthy of clinical evaluation in clinical settings to determine whether it maintains its microbicidal activity against a variety of organisms on different surfaces."
"Based on this evidence disinfectants where HOCl is the dominant chlorine species (HOCl and ECAS) would be appropriate alternative chlorine-based disinfectants for POU drinking water applications."
