Özet: In this study, bactericidal efficiency of Gigasept FF and Lysetol AF Schülke and Mayr GmbH, Hamburg , Perfektan Endo Dr. Schumacher GmbH, Germany and Actosed Endo Acto GmbH, Germany which do not contain gluteraldehyde and being used in the disinfection of endoscopes and surgical instruments were evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442 by quantitative suspension test. The concentrations of disinfectants and exposure times tested as 5 %, 7.5 % and 10 % for Gigasept FF; 5 % and 10 % for Actosed Endo; 2.5 % and 5 % for Lysetol AF for 5 and 10 minutes, 3 % Perfectan Endo for 10 and 15 minutes. Furthermore, in order to assess the effect of dirty condition on disinfectant activity, bovine serum albumin was used. Consequently, all of the tested disinfectants were found to be effective against S. aureus ATCC 6538 and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442 at studied concentrations and exposure times. Results were similar in cases with and without albumin. The test used in this study is a basic bactericidal activity test. Practical in use tests on endoscopes and the surfaces of instruments still need further study.
