We have studied the effects of a new compound defined as a surface antimicrobial product, commercially named BV-STOP, whose antimicrobial activity has been evaluated in vitro according to specific guidelines from the UNI-EN. The BV-STOP has been assembled as a mixture of substances which confer potent anti-microbial activity with potential 99.9% bacterial growth inhibition. Such antimicrobial activity affects several pathogenic and saprophytic species in particular Pseudomonas , Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Escherichia coli. Moreover thanks to the formulation conditions of the product, once distributed over flat surfaces in any type of temperature conditions, the BV-STOP can retains its antimicrobial activity even though the target surfaces are treated with conventional detergent product for routine cleaning programs. Finally, due to its particular formulation characteristics, the BV-STOP is sensitive to UV irradiation. Therefore, its adherence to surfaces can be monitored over time in order to guarantee a proper antiseptic activity. Thus, the BV-STOP may represent an ideal device for correct and perfect monitoring of antimicrobial conditions.

Abstract
We have studied the effects of a new compound defined as a surface antimicrobial product, commercially named BV-STOP, whose antimicrobial activity has been evaluated in vitro according to specific guidelines from the UNI-EN. The BV-STOP has been assembled as a mixture of substances which confer potent anti-microbial activity with potential 99.9% bacterial growth inhibition. Such antimicrobial activity affects several pathogenic and saprophytic species in particular Pseudomonas , Staphylococcus, Enterococcus and Escherichia coli. Moreover thanks to the formulation conditions of the product, once distributed over flat surfaces in any type of temperature conditions, the BV-STOP can retains its antimicrobial activity even though the target surfaces are treated with conventional detergent product for routine cleaning programs. Finally, due to its particular formulation characteristics, the BV-STOP is sensitive to UV irradiation. Therefore, its adherence to surfaces can be monitored over time in order to guarantee a proper antiseptic activity. Thus, the BV-STOP may represent an ideal device for correct and perfect monitoring of antimicrobial conditions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
