Algard HWS-256 is a one step disinfectant manufactured by Alliance World. Testing algard under laboratory conditions is undoubtedly useful in assessing the activity of disinfectants. However, such testing must be regarded as no more than a preliminary to field trials. The aim behind my study is to record the end-point of a disinfection procedure. In this study few resistant and ATCC strains were used to check the efficacy of the disinfectant by suspension method. To establish the test concentration and the contact time a suspension method is generally applied because the bacteria are uniformly exposed to the disinfectant. As per recommendation, 3.9ml of algard is effective per liter of water with the contact time of 10 minutes. And this study was able to evaluate that the concentration of algard recommended is effective against organisms to kill them at a rapid rate for MDR and ATCC strains.
