title: Disinfectant properties of new povidone-iodine preparations.
abstract: Quantitative suspension tests performed with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and different preparations of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) show that the germicidal activity of a preparation depends on the content of free, non-complex-bound iodine. A comparison between the results obtained with different PVP-I preparations showed that other substances present influenced microbicidal activity.
