IN HOSPITALS AND ANY HOUSING WHERE PEOPLE LIVEHYGIENE IS VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE

What we all want is living in an hygienic and clean environment free from microbes, bacteria, viruses, molds, dirty substance

This desire has generated the term “ Hygienic ´´.

But it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain an hygienic environment in modern life along with the increase of the population.

While showing great attention to our environment to keep ourselves away from diseases, dirt, mud, etc.; we can not see the pathogenic microorganisms and do not care about environment

TILL WHEN WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT ENVIRONMENT ???

Getting ill; then we knock the door of the doctors

So, by this way, along with the movement of the patients , millions of bacteria, viruses and microbes transfer into hospitals . Not only with the patients, but also with foods, equipment, tools, flowers, etc. the pathogenic microorganisms are transported to hospitals

These clewer microorganisms get more and more populated very quickly if do not find and resistance

THE NUMBER OF THE MICROORGANISMS LIVING AROUND ARE UNBELIVABLE SO MUCH:

Qty. 40 million in 1 g soil Qty. 1 billion in 1 liter

water Qty 100 billion to - 1

trillion in 1 gram fence

Qty. of the microorganisms in each sqm of skin;

Hand: 100-1000 Forehead10.000-

100.000 Head :1 million Underarm :10 million Nose secretion : 10

million Saliva : 100 million

THESE ARE ALL THE TIME AND EVERYWHERE LIVING WITH US ! So, simply we need to have a sort of

disinfecting agent to help us in combat these toxic microorganismsFor having a succesful combat the toxic substances, the important issue is the amount and the rate of efficacy of the agent used As the microorganisms populate very rapidly

For instance;

Suppose, there are 1 million bacteria somewhere Applying a disinfectant, let us destroy 85 % of the

bacteria of 1 million The remaining amount ( 15 % ) is 150 thousand. In every 20 minutes, number of the microorganisms

doubles and finally in 60 minutes, the quantitiy reaches up to 1 million 200 thousand.

So ; all efforts are for nothing We can judge and the currnet literature say that the

efficacy should be 5 Log 10 ( 99.999 % ) or even better And for some kind of resistive bacteria which forms

biofilms the target should be 3 Log10 , 99.9 %

SIMPLY , UNLESS ENTIRELY DESTROY OUR ENEMIES WE CAN NOT WIN THE COMBAT

We should state that anti-bacterial paints are also considered to be a disinfecting product. So, the biocidal efficacy should be 3 Log 10 ( 99.9 % ) at minimum.

The microbiocidal activity tests for the surfaces are defined by international standard of JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL STANDART JIS Z 2801 or equivalent ISO 22196 or ASTM E-2180-0110 as foolwing:

For Solid surfaces , micribiocidal activity is to be defined 2 Log10

Painted surfaces are defined to be the coated forms of such surfaces and minimum 99% effiğcacy needed

But European Community mandates 3 Log10, 99.9 % biocidal efficacy

Which measures taken to maintainHygiene Standards at hospitals ?

Corridors, rooms, floors are cleaned by detergents and disinfectants . This work is more carefully done in the operating rooms and infectious diseases departments.

For hand hygiene, though 100 & efficient products are used, the final success is around 40 %.

Let us remember some of the Statistical data which always helps approach the target .

A contaminated handed person spreads the toxicity to 7 more persons .Bacteria and viruses stay over the hand surfaces for.

Not only to be in touch with the patient but even to be in contact with the sheets, to measure her temperature and blood pressure, move her in the bed and remove form the bed, etc. Are all the source of cross

While the patient rooms are contaminated in the ratio of 58 %, in the internal medicine wards, gram-negative bacillus in 38 % ratio has been found.sd are contaminated in the ratio of 38 % .

The success of hand hygiene measures has been 10-40 % in the hospitals at average.

IS IT A SOLUTION TO MOP WITH DETERGENTS AND DISINFECTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COMBATTING MICROBES , BACTERIA, VIRUSES ? THIS DISCUSSION IS ONGOING…

Researches show that mopping success raised up to 94.34 % with quaternary ammonium kind of disinfectants while it used to be 67.75 % with conventional cleaning agents and mopping

Use of microfiber mops did not considerably raised the efficacy ( form %79.74 to %87.94 )

Mopping with regular detergents did not show any significant biocide efficacy and even worse as the toxic substances were spread from one room to another.

So, we can conclude of that for floors, either particularly effective disinfectants are to be used or special kind of anti-bacterial ceramic covering shouldbe preferred.

EVENTOUGH A PROPER DISINFECTING PROCESS APPLIED, THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE SANITATION LEVEL IS LIMITED TO FEW HOURS.

Because the new pathogens are entering in the room

along with the movement of staff, patients, equipment , clothes, food, etc.

To continuously maintain the sanitary level would results in extra works, continuous efforts and costs. Most of the times, the attempts to maintain the sanitation levels create a synthetic cloudy environment inside the hospitals. Such an synthetic cloudy and rich-in chemicals environment would cause secondary effects on the patients and particularly continuously working hospital staff.

So, we should consider some further measures as entire safety and else

For instance , use of disinfecting chemicals; though there are many hazardous side affects involved

The chemicals and disinfectants are to be chosen very carefully by considering their side-effects and degradation capabilities, etc.

But anyhow, those with low side-effects kinds are preferred, quantities of the chemicals are also to be kept at minimum to prevent secondary effects and results.

The chemicals finally are inhaled, swallowed, and / or sent to drain and sewage and finally cause severe environmental problem over agricultural products, underground water streams, soils, etc.

IS SUFFICIENT LEVEL OF PROTECTION SUSTAINED ? Naturally not always at required levels !!! Because, not sufficient amount of

disinfection is done The surface to be disinfected too small Low-active disinfectants used Limited number of disinfectants with

superb characteristics Inconvenience of the areas to be

disinfected Development of resistances against

pathogens Population of the alive pathogens on the

spots where could not be reached External contamination by the movement

of staff and patients and visitors And so many as above

DEADLY SEVERE EFFECTS OF PATHOGENS According to the literature, bacteria populate twice in every

20 minutes. This fact brings tremendously serious results if the calculations are done based on the alive pathogens.

Only 1 bacteria will react o qty. 1 billion in 10 hours, 2 quadrillion in 17 hours. Further both disinfectant resistive and antibiotics resistive derivatives of the bacteria are formed. These microorganism may resident somewhere in the hospitals and survive and continue populating in a very happy mood. So, they are called hospital pathogens and cause Hospital acquired infections ( HAI )

WHAT ARE HOSPITAL PATHOGENS ?

METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYOCOCCUS AUERUS(MRSA) METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYCOCCUS

EPIDERMIS(MRSE) VANKOMYCIN RESISTANT ENTEROCOCUS FAECIUM (VRE) ESHERICHIA COLI ( ATTC 25922 ) KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIA ( ATTC 13883 ) PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA ( ATTC 15442 ) ASPERGILLUS NIGER ATTC 16404 ASPERGILLUS VERSICOLOR ALTERNARIA ALTERNATA CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE ( C. DIFF. )

WHAT IS MISSING IN OUR COMBAT PATHOGENS ?WHAT ELSE TO DO ?

The main problem is , disinfectants have time-limited effects. Mostly are liquid and so can not be applied everywhere and every

time. Hence affectivity field is also limited some time some where. In hospitals, floors, furniture and the other materials occupy only 30 %

of the entire area. But the rest 70 % are consisting of walls, ceiling surfaces etc. where do not have the first priority in hospital disinfecting job.

Even though the walls and ceilings of the operating rooms are disinfected properly and thoroughly, the staff, equipment, etc. Coming form outside immediately adds new and fresh pathogens into the clean room.

WE AIMED AT DEVELOPING AN ANTI-BACTERIAL PAINT TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS : Could we develop a sort of disinfecting material , a paint , to destroy the pathogens

on the walls and surface which occupies 70 % of the hospitals Could this paint be such that does not harm the human being around while killing the

pathogens Could we comply with the European Community’ s relevant regulations ( which

requires to have no harm on human being even though use in the ratio of 0.1 % or lower biocide active material and also being below the permitted toxicity level of 1000 ppm )

Were there any pathogenic organism which progressed resistance to the considered active agents

As not nay biocide active agent was not able to kill the pathogenic organisms, how would we succeed to kill them at such low levels of use

How long time can we keep the activity of the paint without losing the stability Could we create a sort of synergy by combining the activities of different agents Could we develop a paint which does not dissolve in water, does not vaporize, does

not contaminate the environment by emission, can not cause any problem when inhaled by people, while being active to kill the pathogens.

Could all these active agents be under 0.1 % level Could we keep the biocide activity and efficacy with such a very low level of active

substances Could these substance remain over the wall for long time without being destroyed

under external forces

FINALLY , AFTER 4 YEARS OF EXTENSIVE R & D WORKS, WE SUCCEDED SELECTING THE MOST ADEQUATE BIOCIDE

ACTIVE AGENTS AND COMBINING THEM UNDER THE PAINT STRUCTURE

It has been our luck that the bio-medical and chemical industry offered to the market really successful, modern biocide active agents and we could have such a wide range of products portfolio

Our concern was not only selecting the active agents but also to be environmental friendly during applying the paint on surfaces. EU regulations mandates that VOC ( volatile organic compounds ) should be less than 100 g per 1 liter in water based paints.

We SUCCEEDED TO KEEP VOC AMOUNT IN OUR DOCTOR BACTER ANTI-BACTERIAL PAINT AS LOW AS 60 g/LT, WHICH IS 40 % LESS THAN MANDATED BY EU LAWS.

The main active substances such as CMIT, MIT, FORMALDEHYDE and FORMALDEHYDE which generates toxic products and used in conventional in-house paints are not used in Doctor Bacter paint. Also, ammonia containing pH adjusters are not used in the paint to prevent bad smell.

The anti-foaming agents also were selected form European environmental award winning ones. Finally, our concerns were not only selecting the most effective biocide combination but also eliminating the other chemically toxic compounds from the formulation.

MAJOR IMPORTENT ACHIEVEMENTS

EU DEFINES ANTI-BACTERICIDE PAINS AS THE WATER BASED PAINTS WHICH KILL THE BACTERIA OVER THE PAINT WITHIN 24 HOURS WITH THE EFFICACY OF 99.9 % . FURTHER ANTI-BACTERIAL PAINTS SHOULD KILL MOULDS .

VERY LOW LEVEL OF ANTI-TOXIC BIOCIDE CONCENTRATION : EU DEFINES 1/1000 G ( 0.1 % ) AND WE REDUCED DOWN TO AS LOW AS 0.08 % LEVEL

WE ADDED THE EFFICACY POWER ON alsoMOULDS, YEASTS, ALGS

FINALLY, BY COMBINING THE ANTİ-BACTERCIDE AGENTS, MOULD PREVENTERS, PRESERVATICE COMPOUNDS IN AN EXCELLENT SYNERGY, WE COULD REACY THE TOXICITY LEVEL AS LOW AS 0.08 % .

FINALLY DOCTOR BACTER CAME UP THE DOCTOR BACTER NAMED, ANTI-

BACTERIAL HOSPITAL PAINT WAS DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED INTO THE HYGIENE MARKET.

THE BIOCIDE EFFICACY WAS APPROVED BY TURKISH MINITRY OF HEALTH’ S AUTHORIZED LABORATORY AS WELL AS BY MANY OTHER AUTHORIZED LABORATORIES IN AND OUT OF TURKEY

WHY DOCTOR BACTER IS UNIQUE ? HAS 3LOG10 ( 99.9 % ) BIOCIDE EFFICACY ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY AS ACTIVE COMPONENTS ARE BELOW

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LIMITS BY MEANS OF USED ENCAPSULATING TECHNOLOGY, HIGH LEVEL OF

STABILIZATION WAS ACHIEVED STABILITY MAINTAINS 2 YEARS TIME ON THE PAINTED SURFACES (

MAYBE MORE THAN 2 YEARS AS TILL NOW ONLY 2 YEARS WAS PROVEN FROM THE FIRSTT LAUNCH OF THE PRODUCT)

ONCE APPLIED, 24/720 PROTECTION IS ENSURED THE COST/EPRFORMANCE RATIO IS VERY LOW CONSIDERING THE

COST-SAVE IN THE AMOUNT OF DISINFECTANTS USED IN THE DOCTOR BACTER PAINTED ROOMS.

ALONG WITH THE BIOCIDE FEATURES, ALREADY HAS EXCELLENT PAINT SPECIFICATIONS

WHERE DOCTOR BACTER USED HOSPITALS ,CLINICS , OTHER HEALTH CENTERS GERIATRY CLINICS FOOD FACTORIES, RESTAURANTS MOSQUES, CHURCHS, SINAGOGS, ETC. HOTELS, SCHOOLS, CINEMAS, THEATERS SHOPPING CENTERS, HOUSES , APARTMENTS ANY PLACE WHERE COMMODITIES OF

PEOPLE LIVE AND HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT
