The purpose of this work was to determine the in vitro growth-inhibition of the disinfectant

N-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (TIMSENTM) against poultry pathogenic bacteria.
Aetiology agents of Infectious Coryza, Fowl Typhoid, Paratyphoid Salmonellosis and Fowl Cholera were selected together with other associated chicken pathogens.
 

Methodology

 

Bacteria: Nineteen strains isolated from chickens.

Bacterial concentration: Different bacteria concentration with a minimum of 106 colony forming units (CFU) per mL (Table).

Culture media:

  • Avibacterium paragallinarum strains in Columbia agar base plus 7% equine defibrinated haemolysed blood.

 

  • All the other strains in Columbia agar base plus 7% bovine defibrinated non-haemolysed blood.
     

Doses of TIMSENTM tested4 0 ppm

  • 0 ppm
  • 25 ppm
  • 50 ppm
  • 100 ppm
  • 200 ppm
  • 400 ppm
  • 800 ppm
  • 1600 ppm
     

Sampling times:

  • Less than 1 minute
  • 2 minutes
  • 5 minutes
     

Results

 

  • Complete inhibition after 5 minutes by 200 ppm.

 

  • Complete inhibition after 2 minutes by 400 ppm.

 

  • Complete inhibition after <1 minute by 800 ppm(*)

    (*)Except S. Enteritidis PT4, which was completely inhibited only after 2 minutes or <1 minutes with 1600 ppm.

     

Conclusions

 

  • The manufacture's recommended dose of 400 ppm is satisfactory for complete elimination of bacteria within 2 minutes.

 

  • 400 ppm is suitable for environmental disinfection of clean materials and surfaces.
