Antimicrobial effects of the tetrachlorodecaoxygen-anion complex on oropharyngeal bacterial flora: an in vitro study.
The susceptibility of 276 different strains of bacteria derived from the oropharyngeal flora to the tetrachlorodecaoxygen-anion complex (TCDO) was tested using the agar dilution method. The results showed that at therapeutic concentrations of the drug the growth of all the strains tested was inhibited, with the exception of Candida albicans. The pathogenic anaerobes proved to be particularly sensitive to TCDO.
