title: [Measure of the activity of a quaternary aldehyde-ammonia complex against reference bacteria strains and 50 hospital strains].
abstract: Concentrations of a disinfectant complex effective against hospital strains were determined using the dilution-neutralization method (AFNOR T72 150). Results were compared to those obtained with reference bacterial strains. A 99.999% reduction in viable bacteria requires significantly higher concentrations for hospital isolates than for reference strains.
