Polyurethane foam matrixes were filled with the antibacterial substances 2.4.4.′′-tricloro-2′′ hydroxydiphenyl ether
(triclosan), 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (isothiazolone), and bis(2-pyridylthio)zinc 1,1′-dioxide (zinc
pyrithione). Each biocide component was utilised in concentrations of 0.20 weight percent, 0.50 weight percent,
and 1.00 weight percent, and the ability to reduce infection for several species of bacteria was assessed (Barns
et al., 2007). The colony formation units (CFU) as a function of time were examined during the microbiological
testing with polyurethane foams utilising the pour plate technique and agar diffusion tests. Bacillus subtilis,
Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella choleraesuis, and Staphylococcus aureus were employed
in preliminary experiments. According to tests conducted in.. View More»
