This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of nine commercial water disinfectants, acidifiers, and glyceride blends against zoonotic pathogens. The results showed promising antibacterial activity for most of the tested products, making them good choices for pathogen control and reducing antimicrobial resistance in poultry farms. Further in vivo studies are recommended to provide more information and determine the optimal dosage scheme and possible synergies of these products.
Identifying and monitoring the efficiency of alternative biocides that are presently used in livestock is gaining vast attention. The objective of this study was to determine, in vitro, the antibacterial activity of nine commercial water disinfectants, acidifiers, and glyceride blends against clinical isolates or reference strains of zoonotic pathogens belonging to the genera Escherichia spp., Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Listeria spp., and Staphylococcus spp. For each product, the antibacterial activity was tested in concentrations ranging from 0.002 to 1.136% v/v and expressed as the minimum concentration of the product that inhibits bacterial growth (MIC). Water disinfectants Cid 2000 (TM) and Aqua-clean(R) recorded MICs ranging from 0.002 to 0.142% v/v, while the lowest MICs were recorded at two strains of Campylobacter (0.002-0.004% v/v). Virkon((R)) S displayed various MICs (0.013-0.409% w/v) and was highly effective at suppressing the growth of Gram-positive bacteria such as S. aureus (0.013-0.026% w/v). The MICs of water acidifiers (Agrocid Super (TM) Oligo, Premium acid, and Ultimate acid) and glyceride blends (CFC Floramix, FRA((R))LAC34, and FRA((R))Gut Balance) ranged from 0.036 to 1.136% v/v, and for most of these products, MICs were closely correlated by their ability to modify the pH of the culture medium close to 5. In conclusion, most of the tested products showed promising antibacterial activity; as a result, they would be good candidates for pathogen control in poultry farms and for reducing the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. However, further in vivo studies are recommended to provide relevant information for the underlying mechanisms, as well as for the establishment of the optimal dosage scheme for each product and their possible synergies.
