Study: Disinfectant cuts down on MSRA

A study of the disinfectant Byotrol at Glasgow Royal Infirmary in Scotland shows that the sanitizer cut down on the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by 75 percent. Recently, a study published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology underscored the danger that both patients and healthcare workers face from community-acquired MRSA, a potentially deadly, antibiotic-resistant staph infection. Byotrol could help stem the spread of the bug. “Byotrol is said to be different from other disinfectants because it leaves a film on surfaces which prevents bacteria from attaching themselves and reproducing. The bugs become exhausted and agents in the disinfectant then kill them,” reports Science Daily. Report
