Disease relevance of chlorous acid

• Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) inactivation experiments were conducted with adenovirus type 40 (AD40) and feline calicivirus (FCV) [1].
• Chlorine dioxide and iodine inactivated poliovirus more efficiently at pH 10.0 than at pH 6 [2].
• Chlorine dioxide inactivated HIV-1 in the presence of blood and in the presence of medical supplies under conditions that simulated the conditions existing in the Condor machine [3].
• Overall efficacy of the chlorous acid and chlorine dioxide teat dip against major mastitis pathogens was 52.2% [4].
• Treatment with chlorous acid reduced Salmonella Typhimurium from 5.0 log to undetectable levels (<0.48 log CFU/g), and the pathogen remained undetectable over a 9-day storage period [5].

High impact information on chlorous acid

• Chlorine dioxide inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and bacterial spore indicators [6].
• Chlorine dioxide oxidation of cysteine (CSH) is investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions (with excess CSH) in buffered aqueous solutions, p[H(+)] 2.7-9.5 at 25.0 degrees C. The rates of chlorine dioxide decay are first order in both ClO(2) and CSH concentrations and increase rapidly as the pH increases [7].
• Chlorine dioxide: a new agent for dialysis monitor disinfection in a pediatric center [8].
• The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of nisin in combination with heat or antimicrobial chemical treatments (such as lactic acid, chlorous acid, and sodium hypochlorite) on the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes and total mesophiles in sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) caviar [9].
• (Key words: teat dip, contagious mastitis, chlorous acid)[10]

Biological context of chlorous acid

• Chlorine dioxide water disinfection: a prospective epidemiology study [11].
• Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is under consideration as an alternative to chlorination as a disinfectant for public water supplies [12].

Anatomical context of chlorous acid

• Post-dipping with chlorous acid-chlorine dioxide reduced incidence of udder infection by major mastitis pathogens 36.1% when data were combined from the two herds [13].
• The chlorous acid-chlorine dioxide irrigation solution was the least toxic to fibroblasts, with survival rates equivalent to those of controls [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of chlorous acid

• Chlorine dioxide and hemodialysis [15].
• This study was undertaken to compare the efficacies of chlorous acid (268 ppm), sodium hypochlorite (200 ppm), and lactic acid (2%) in eliminating total mesophilic microorganisms, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes on commercial mung bean sprouts immediately after treatment and during posttreatment refrigerated storage [5].
• Chlorine dioxide gas sterilization of oxygenators in an industrial scale sterilizer: a successful model [16].
