Long-distance bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness of parachlorophenol and Formalin on Streptococcus faecalis and Candida albicans.
The "long-distance" bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness of several concentrations of parachlorophenol, 25% Formalin, and 2% glutaraldehyde, all in 80% alcohol solution, has been tested in vitro on Streptococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. A concentration of at least 10% parachlorophenol in 80% alcoholic solution has the same long-distance bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness as 25% Formalin in 80% alcoholic solution.
