Effect of some Antiseptics and Ultraviolet Ray Light on Growth Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Operation Theatres in Mosul Hospitals

This study aimed to determine the inhibitory affect of antiseptics (Actosept, actosed, hexatane20, settol) and ultraviolet ray on growth of Staph. aureus, Ps. aeruginosa which were isolated from operating theatres in Mosul hospitals. The results showed sensitivity of most isolates against these antiseptics, The minimum inhibitory concentration were 3500 m ml, 1500 mml and 2500 mml of the tested isolates, while the actosed level of the MIC was 250 m ml and 500 mml against Staph. aurous and Ps. aeruginosa respectively. The results demonstrated that exposing period of isolates to ten minutes for ultraviolet ray had effective action on inhibition of the growth of those bacteria. .
