Preliminary Efficacy Testing of the Disinfectant MicrobeCare XLP for Potential Use in Military Operational Environments.

Conclusion: In these independent tests, MicrobeCare XLP effectively prevented growth of A. baumannii but had unpredictable results suppressing S. aureus. These results may relate to inherent properties of the bacteria or autoclave exposure, although the manufacturer asserts that the coating withstands such degradation. Additional testing could be performed using a broader range of microorganisms and exposure to varying conditions including other sterilization methods.
