title: Sporicidal activities of disinfectants on Paenibacillus larvae.
abstract: Sporicidal activities of glutaraldehyde, sodium hypochlorite, povidone iodine, ethylene oxide gas, chlorhexidine gluconate, and didecyl dimethylammonium chloride on wet and dry spores of Paenibacillus larvae (basonym: Bacillus larvae) were evaluated for control of honeybee American foulbrood. Glutaraldehyde was found to have a strong and rapid effect on both the wet and the dry spores among the disinfectants tested.
