Bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite of various bacteria.

The object or this work was to determine the bacteriostatic and bactericidal efficiencies, under various conditions of temperature, concentration, and addition or organic matter, or NaOH and NaOCl respectively, which are marketed commercially as lye and “Javex”. Comparisons or disinfectant compounds were and still are necessary not only for the advancement or knowledge, but also as part of our society or tree enterprise. Thus, when Microbiology became a science, methods were established for testing these disinfectants with various organisms. At the beginning, such comparisons, as made by Koch and others, were unsuitable because they did not take into consideration factors that might affect the efficiency of the disinfectants.
