THE IDEAL DISINFECTANT  We’ve all heard the saying, “You can’t see the forest for the trees.”  When focusing too much on a single  detail, it can be difficult to accurately access the bigger picture.  For example, I would assume that for  the majority of those reading this article, the first thought that pops into the mind when thinking about  or evaluating a disinfectant is; “What does it kill?”  Now as appropriate as this question might be, can an  overemphasis upon a single disinfectant characteristic alone interfere with the ability to adequately  access its overall appropriateness?  I would suggest it most certainly does, and in fact is a major reason  for so many “supposed” disinfectant failures.  In this article I’m going to help you decipher and distill the  world of disinfectants into a manageable toolset for evaluating the various options available today.  In  the course of doing so, we’ll be reflecting upon, among other things, the following two major questions:  (1) Is there a bigger picture to look at for understanding the role disinfectants play in reducing  disease transmission in animal care facilities?  (2) What are the properties of an ideal disinfectant, and does such a disinfectant actually exist?  Understanding these questions will provide tools to easily and effectively evaluate the many disinfectant  choices available today.  You will then be able to better parse past and future conference  recommendations and marketing information into the raw materials necessary for decoding and  deciding what’s best for your own facility.  Is there a bigger picture to look at for understanding the role disinfectants play  in reducing disease transmission in animal care facilities?  As stereoscopic vision allows for depth perception, a proper understanding of environmental variables,  plus an understanding of the basic principles of disease transmission, are both important for  understanding disinfectants and their role as contributors to the bigger picture of combating disease  transmission.  Disinfectants by themselves are only part of the equation.  Having been a veterinarian for  29 years now, it still surprises me the number of times facility and practice managers continue to miss  the mark on these simple principles.  Failure to understand how environmental variables affect disease  transmission, and/or failing to understand how infectious diseases are transmitted will be a recipe for  failure no matter what sanitation program you may be employing or what disinfecting options you may  be considering.  Stress is a leading contributor to disease and animal care facilities are inherently stressful environments.   Understanding some of the environmental contributors to stress will prove helpful for effectively  minimizing disease transmission and creating a healthier environment.  Major environmental  contributors to stress include, among other things, ventilation, temperature, humidity, and space.  Ventilation:   Proper ventilation is necessary to minimize spread of disease and reduce unwanted odors.   As a rule‐of‐thumb, facilities should be capable of exchanging air 10 – 15 times per hour, and variably A LOOK AT ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES 

1 

adjusting the ratio of recycled air to fresh air.  Therefore a 10,000 CF facility should have an air‐handler  capable of moving 100,000 – 150,000 CF of air per hour with the ability to adjust the proportions of  recycled air to fresh air.  Isolation wards should always be ventilated on a separate system from the rest  of your facility, and some sort of quality air filtration system and/or air sanitizing program should be  employed throughout the entire facility.  Because hard surface disinfectants have little effect on air  quality, it is important to recognize that numerous microorganisms are known airborne pathogens, and  the very act of cleaning itself (when using high pressure sprayers) aerosolizes microorganisms and  debris.  Clean fresh air equals healthier happier animals.  Temperature:   To minimize stress, ambient temperatures should be maintained above 60 0  F and kept  below 80 0  F (15‐27 0  C) at all times, however, as a rule‐of‐thumb, temperatures should ideally be kept in  a range normally considered comfortable for staff, animals, and the public (68 0 ‐75 0  F).  Humidity:   Relative humidity should be maintained in a range between 30% and 70%.  If your floor is still  wet 10‐15 minutes after cleaning, your facility humidity level is likely too high and should be promptly  adjusted.    Space:   Because facilities differ radically in age and design, overcrowding and other housing variables  like size of space, proximity to other animals, visibility of other animals, design comfort, light levels, and  sounds, can all add to stress levels and act as an ongoing and huge potential contributor to infectious  disease transmission regardless of the sanitation program being employed.  If it’s not what a pet is used  to at home, then stress will definitely be a factor affecting any animal staying in your facility.  Did you  know a sneezing cat can project aerosolized particles up to 5’ away from where it sneezes?    Minimizing transmission of infectious diseases involves an awareness of numerous principles affecting  how successfully microorganisms are transmitted.  Overlooking any of these principles will alter your  level of success at combating infectious disease transmission in your facility.   An effective and diligent program must be in place as recommended by your consulting  veterinarian for monitoring the health of animals entering a facility and the current health  status of animals already in your facility.  This program should minimally include mandated  core vaccinations with ample opportunity given for conferred immunity prior to an animal’s  stay.   Stress levels of the population, environmental variables such as ventilation, temperature,  humidity, and space; and age and facility design as already mentioned, all play significant  roles warranting ongoing attention.   It’s also important to recognize the various vehicles for spread of contagions.   Microorganisms are transmitted directly from animal to animal through feces, urine, saliva,  and via aerosol transmission (hard surface disinfectants offer little help here), and indirectly  through a process called “fomite” transmission; whereby employees and visitors pick up  contaminated material from one animal, and unwittingly transmit it to other animals on  hands, feet, hair, and clothing. BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR MINIMIZING DISEASE TRANSMISSION

2 

 The trafficking management of animals within a facility has significant potential for  transmission of infectious disease if not managed and monitored correctly.  This is an area  I’ve often found to be completely overlooked in some sanitation programs.   Other variables are more obvious and would include, function and capabilities of sanitizers  and disinfectants, equipment being used for cleaning and disinfecting, quality of employee  compliance with labeling directions, and a facility’s husbandry practices for care of its  animals.   Biofilms are an emerging topic of interest and warrant mention here because failure to  understand the protectant effect biofilms confer upon microorganisms may result in failure  of a sanitation program at controlling disease transmission.  Biofilms are aggregates of  microorganisms adhering together in a matrix of self‐produced extracellular polymeric  substances referred to as slime.  This slime is a mixture of extracellular DNA, proteins, and  polysaccharides, and is extremely resilient to penetration by numerous hard surface  disinfectants.  If a sanitizer or disinfectant can’t get at a microorganism, it can’t kill the  microorganism.  To highlight the importance biofilms play in disease transmission, the CDC  has suggested biofilms contribute to over 2 million infections, 90,000 human deaths, and  $4.5 billion dollars in excess human healthcare costs each year.  Now that you have an understanding of how environmental variables contribute to disease  transmission, and you also understand how infectious diseases themselves are transmitted, it’s now  time to move on and discuss disinfectant characteristics themselves and the role these  characteristics play in reducing disease transmission in animal care facilities.  What are the properties of an ideal disinfectant, and does such a disinfectant  actually exist? Before diving into this section, let me first make a comment about customer perception.  If you were  to poll several hundred first time visitors to your facility, three dominant themes would emerge that  control customers’ perceptions about your facility:  What’s it look like?  What’s it smell like?  And  how am I treated?  You cannot afford to underestimate the power of these three perceptions.  The  first two of which are directly dependent upon your particular sanitation program and the products  you choose to accommodate that program in your facility.  Let me begin by saying, the “ideal” or perfect disinfectant does not actually exist.  This is because  the extremes of safety and efficacy are often at odds with one another in use applications and  during product development .  A flamethrower would do an excellent job removing unwanted  microorganisms, but the immediate and long term effects and damage created in the process would  be completely unacceptable.  Being able to define what an “ideal” disinfectant should look like  however, will help you sort out the many options available for sanitizing and disinfecting your facility  and allow you to adequately evaluate any product on the market for its suitability as part of your  facility’s overall sanitation program.  Keeping in mind, there’s much more involved than just,  “What’s it kill?”  What you’re looking for is balance.  As you evaluate products, avoid the extremes.

3 

Use the list that follows as a comparison metric against which you will be able to evaluate the many  disinfectant options you’ll encounter in the marketplace.  Following are characteristics of an “ideal”  disinfectant: 

PROPERTIES OF AN IDEAL DISINFECTANT

 Neutral pH (preferably in the range of 6.5 to 7.5).  The pH scale is a measurement of how  acidic or basic a substance is and ranges in scale from a numerical value of 0 to 14.  The  lower the number the more acidic a substance (hydrochloric acid has a pH of 1), the higher  the number the more basic or caustic a substance is (sodium hydroxide has a pH of 14).  The  farther one moves away from neutrality (pH of 7.0), the greater the likelihood a substance  will burn, corrode, or irritate; and the harsher a chemical will be on the surfaces it is applied,  and the more dangerous it could be as an irritant to animals and people.  Water has a  neutral pH of 7.0.   Excellent cleaning ability.  Though cleaning is not generally considered, in itself, a process of  disinfection; it is estimated that the combined effects of the removal of the medium in  which contagions grow, along with a reduction in actual microorganism counts and the  direct cellular actions surfactants have upon microorganisms, account for reducing overall  microorganism contamination by up to 90%.   Cleaning ability should rank near the top of  your list of concerns in choosing a disinfectant as it accounts for upwards of 90% of your  ability to control contagions .  As a rule‐of‐thumb, if you can smell it, you haven’t cleaned it  well enough.   A 1:64 concentrate (2 ounces of solution per gallon of water).  Though super‐concentrates  (1:128 and 1:256 solutions) do have a place for use, those solutions do not contain enough  material after diluting for effective widespread cleaning ability and odor control.  Super‐ concentrates also lack dye concentrations sufficient for satisfactory color upon dilution and  are therefore easily wasted, especially in facilities lacking automated dilutors; as personnel  often pour solutions until they see a satisfactory color.  It’s just human nature!   Cost effective.  Ready‐to‐use solutions are not cost effective options for widespread usage  considerations.  And as already suggested, super‐concentrates, due to waste and  inadequate cleaning ability, may not be genuinely suitable solutions for widespread usage  consideration either.   One‐Step Functionality.  You should ideally be looking for products with the ability to clean,  disinfect, and deodorize in a single step; without rinsing or pre‐cleaning being necessary for  demonstrated efficacy.  There is obviously a time and place for rinsing, as any substance will  accumulate over time, but the key here is in having a product able to function in spite of  rinsing or pre‐cleaning being necessary.

4 

 Facility Sparing.  Products you choose need to be compatible with the various materials  commonly found in animal care facilities, like stainless steel, galvanized steel, carbon steel,  aluminum, copper, vinyl, etc.  With significant money invested in your facility, you don’t  want to destroy your investment by using products with the capacity to easily damage your  facility.   Hard water compatibility.  Hard water is water that has a high mineral content.  This mineral  content makes some disinfectants less efficacious.  If your facility is in an area with hard  water, check labeling before simply assuming a particular disinfectant is appropriate for use  in hard water.   Ability to function in an organic load.  This is an often easily overlooked characteristic of a  disinfectant.  I still run into facilities using chlorine bleach who believe they’re using a  product that will “kill everything,” not realizing that bleach use requires pre‐cleaning, as  bleach is significantly inactivated by the presence of organic debris.   Environmentally friendly.  As animal care facilities utilize significant amounts of  disinfectants, choose solutions as environmentally friendly as possible.  Many don’t realize  how environmentally unfriendly some products are.   Take bleach (sodium hypochlorite) as  an example again.  Bleach combines with organic substances to create carcinogenic  byproducts (thihalomethanes, etc.).  Not good news for the environment!  These facts are  putting pressure on numerous state government and local municipalities to rethink chlorine  use and the levels permitted for various applications.  We could in fact see an emerging  movement toward limiting or banning chlorine use altogether.   Safe.  You want to use products in your facility generally regarded as safe for use around  animals and people.  But remember, safety is often in conflict with efficacy.  The key here is  balance.  Utilize the entire metric of this article when evaluating a disinfectant and strive for  as much balance as possible.   Ease of Use.  Time is money, and the more steps it takes to do a job, the more it generally  costs a facility to do that job.  Products like powders that are cumbersome to handle and  dilute, or products requiring pre‐cleaning, add unnecessary confusion and expense to a  sanitation program.  You want to utilize products easy to use and safe to use.   Pleasant Fragrance.  Remember what I said earlier about customer perception.  What’s it  look like?  What’s it smell like?  And how am I treated?  If an odor bothers you, you can bet  it also bothers animals who have a much more heightened sense of smell than we do.   Odors create a negative impression of your facility and also add unwanted stress to animals  as well as to your staff.

5 

 Spectrum of Activity.  Without a doubt you want to utilize products having a superior  spectrum of activity against the major pathogens of concern within the animal care industry.   And you want to also have an ILD (Intermediate Level Disinfectant) or a HLD (High Level  Disinfectant) available and on hand when and as may be needed during periods of disease  outbreak, for use in isolation wards, and for intermittent facility treatment.  This will be a  disinfectant that is a step above the routine disinfectants generally utilized.  It’s the “big  gun” if you will.  It should be clear however as you’ve been reading through this article that  “Spectrum of Activity” alone is an insufficient basis for choosing a disinfectant.  Remember…  you need a complete and balanced package.  In summary, the ideal disinfectant doesn’t actually exist because the extremes of safety and efficacy  are often at odds with one another in usage applications and during product development.  Even  still, numerous products are available today that are appropriate for use in animal care facilities and  come close to the metric given in this article for identifying what an ideal disinfectant should look  like.  By keeping this list in mind, you’ll be equipped to easily evaluate disinfecting options and  decide what’s best for your own particular facility.  Remember that balance is key, and don’t forget  there’s a much bigger picture to consider in developing an overall sanitation program than just,  “What’s it kill?”

BLEACH (sodium hypochlorite)

 Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl - ) is a halogen.

 Inexpensive, broad spectrum of activity, works by oxidation, denaturing proteins.

 Household bleach concentrations vary from 2% to 6%. Normally a 1:32 concentration (about 1600 ppm) is recommended for general disinfection, but levels as high as 1:10 are recommended for ringworm (microsporum canis) & 1:9 (5600 ppm – 14 oz/gallon as per EPA label dated 7/19/2010) for TB. Kate Hurley of UC Davis recommends the following formula for determining correct 1:32 dilutions: 21 divided by the % active = the # ounces of solution / gallon of water required  Because bleach degrades so quickly the EPA requires special labeling language stating the following: “Degrades with age”  Because liquid bleach is so unstable it needs to be stabilized by adding lye , a very corrosive chemical, resulting in a high pH of 11.5. Therefore bleach is very corrosive.  Because of its instability and quick inactivation, bleach solutions should be discarded every couple of hours.  Bleach loses its content continuously from the moment of manufacture, losing up to half its active by the time of purchase within 60 days of being manufactured.  When using bleach, pre-cleaning is necessary, and it must remain in contact with surfaces for 10 to 30 minutes.  In bleach 2 forms of free chlorine are present in a pH dependant equilibrium. The most potent of the two is HOCL (hypochlorous acid), found only in trace amounts when a solution has a pH of 9.0 or higher. Because bleach has a pH of 11.5, not much HOCL is actually available as a disinfectant. Instead what’s mostly present is the less effective form of free chlorine OCL - (the hypochlorite ion). Unfortunately the OCL - is 120 times less effective than HOCL as a disinfectant. This is why bleach has documented failures in eliminating dangerous pathogens like hepatitis and parvovirus, and it’s also why high levels and strict controls are required for confidence when using bleach as a disinfectant.  There is no sustained release of active.  Bleach is significantly inactivated by organic matter, light, and extended storage.

 Bleach is a very potent mucous membrane, tissue, and upper respiratory irritant.

 Bleach should never mix with acids as toxic chlorine gas will be released.

 A movement is gaining momentum where States and Municipalities are moving away from (discouraging) chlorine use due to the formation of carcinogenic trihalomines and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).

Calcium Hypochlorite

 Calcium hypochlorite is a halogen.

 Relatively inexpensive, broad spectrum of activity, works by oxidation, denaturing proteins.

 Works in either cold or hot water.

 Loses only 5% of its potency in 18 months.

 75 ppm use solution as opposed to 1600 ppm required with bleach use. Each 200,000 ppm caplet lasts about 3 ½ hours. ( 1 tablet per 875 gallons of water, at a flow rate of about 250 gallons per hour )  No mixing required, no residues, no rinsing, biodegradable, no scalding, no bleach staining, environmentally friendly.

 Will not harm septic systems.

 Contains no lye as in bleach, therefore it is not nearly as corrosive as bleach.  Because it has a pH below 8.5, more HOCL (hypochlorous acid) is available than found in bleach, making it 120 times more effective than bleach.

 Inactivated by organic matter, therefore pre-cleaning is necessary.

 There is no sustained release of active.

 Should never mix with ammonia.

 The amount of chlorine dispensed is influenced by the rate of flow (water pressure). Never exceed 70 psi.

 Rapidly loses effectiveness at high pH

 A movement is gaining momentum where States and Municipalities are moving away from (discouraging) chlorine use due to the formation of carcinogenic trihalomines and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).

 No actual parvo virus label claim.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate - NADCC

 NADCC is a halogen.

 Moderately priced, broad spectrum of activity, works by denaturing proteins.

 Contains a detergent so it cleans as well as disinfects.

 Tablets dissolve in about 2 ½ minutes requiring 1 tablet per gallon of water. There are 270 tablets per bucket.  Solution is good for 24 hours once activated and the tablets have 1 year stability prior to activation.

 No deleterious effects on floor finishes.  50% less corrosive to metals than bleach, but still corrosive .

 Does not bleach color-fast fabrics.

 Biodegrades to ammonia and CO 2 .  Not inactivated by organic matter.  Because it has a pH around 6.5, more HOCL (hypochlorous acid) is available than found in sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite making it much more effective.

 Does not kill spores.

 A movement is gaining momentum where States and Municipalities are moving away from (discouraging) chlorine use due to the formation of carcinogenic trihalomines and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).

CHLORINE DIOXIDE (ClO 2 )

 Though it has Chlorine in its name, the chemistry of ClO 2

is radically different from that

of Chlorine.

 ClO 2 is generally accepted to be more powerful, easier to use, and more environmentally friendly than equivalent Chlorine treatments.  ClO 2 is less corrosive than Chlorine and almost negligible at use concentrations.  As an electron receiver, ClO 2 is an oxidizer. However ClO 2 has the ability to absorb 5 electrons whereas Chlorine can only absorb 2 electrons. This makes Chlorine Dioxide chemically 2.5 times more active than Chlorine. Unlike other disinfectants acting dominantly on cell walls, ClO 2 penetrates into cells, displaying a high affinity for sulfur and hydrogen bonds of proteins destroying the organisms. In addition ClO 2 reacts directly with the amino acids and RNA of a cell, killing microorganisms even when they are inactive.  ClO 2 is effective against Giardia and Cryptosporidium oocysts, and all bacteria, viruses and spore formers at 0.1 ppm to 100 ppm. It is effective against anthrax at 20 ppm.  ClO 2 has a neutral pH.  Biocidal properties are not influenced by pH. As a result ClO 2 rapidly inactivates most microorganisms over a wide pH range.  Many researchers have cited the excellent biofilm removing properties of ClO 2 . Chlorine Dioxide effectively penetrates and disperses the “polysaccharide glue” of biofilm. By effectively killing and stripping off biofilm, bacteria are much slower to reestablish than when biofilm is left intact. This is something most other disinfectants have particular problems doing!  Unlike Chlorine, ClO 2 will not adversely react with organic compounds and as a result ClO 2 does not produce unwanted carcinogenic chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOC) and trihalomines. In fact, instead of combining with the aromatic rings of organic compounds, ClO 2 actually breaks these rings apart reducing levels of chlorinated organics. This makes ClO 2 use environmentally sparing! Also, because ClO 2 does not react or combine with organic compounds, much more of it remains available as a biocidal agent.  ClO 2 can be used for odor control and air disinfection, and was the principal agent used in the decontamination of buildings in the United States after the 2001 anthrax attacks.  ClO 2 is highly soluble in H 2 O, in fact it is 10 times more soluble than Chlorine, i.e., ClO 2 loves and looks for water/moisture. In neutral or near neutral solutions (4< pH <10) chlorine dioxide is relatively stable and exists as a free radical in water.  ClO 2 generation forms byproducts of chlorite and chlorate, decomposes in sunlight and is highly biodegrabable.

PHENOLICS

Environ, Tektrol, PineSol, etc: Not effective against non-enveloped viruses or spores, and concentrations above 2% are highly toxic to all animals, especially cats. Effective in the presence of organic matter. These products are not recommended and are no longer permitted to be used as laboratory disinfectants.

IODINES

Due to excessive cost, not widely used in animal care environments. Iodines are in short supply.

BIGUINIDES

Chlorhexidine, Nolvasan, Virosan: These alter membrane permeability. They only function in a limited pH range of 5–7, and are toxic to fish and therefore an environmental concern.

Aldehydes

Formaldehyde, Glutaraldehyde: Denatures proteins, alkylates nucleic acids, broad spectrum, carcinogenic, potent mucous membrane and tissue irritants, only use in well ventilated areas. Efficacy is reduced with organic matter. Effective on spores.

OTHER NOTES:

Efficient cleaning can remove 99% of bacteria present. Cleaning is the most crucial step in the disinfection process. Foot baths can instill a false sense of security if not used properly!
