Clinical Evaluation of the Residual Antimicrobial Activity

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Bacterial Overgrowth

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the residual antimicrobial efficacy of one test product as defined by the difference between the number of a challenge bacterial species recovered following exposure to the test product and the number recovered when untreated (negative control). The challenge bacterial species to be used is Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC #6538) (S. aureus). Testing will be carried out using a modification of the standardized test method described in ASTM E2752-10 (2015) Standard Guide for Evaluation of Residual Effectiveness of Antibacterial Personal Cleansing Products. Bacterial recoveries will be assayed after application oftest material, using the forearms as a substrate.
