- the antimicrobial compositions and methods is comprised of a plurality of constituents. Such constituents are individually configured and
- This invention relates to antimicrobial compositions comprising alcohol, phenol, phenol complexes, and ammonium chloride complexes, to provide broad-spectrum
- HAIs Healthcare Associated Infections
- HAIs are also a financial burden on the healthcare system, with costs estimated at $30-50 billion annually in the United States.
- HAIs have become a greater problem in recent years, because some bacteria have become resistant to certain antibiotics.
- Staphylococcus aureus has been a common infection in hospitals for many years.
- methicillin antibiotics would normally treat the Staph infection successfully.
- MRSA methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
- HCWs to sanitize their hands (before and after touching any patient) by washing with soap and water or using an alcohol sanitizer. Studies have shown that HCWs comply with the procedures less than 50 percent of the time.
- Infection Preventionists dislike the role of policing compliance to the guidelines.
- HAIs requires both improved hand hygiene and improved surface disinfection. Unsanitary surfaces in the hospital allows HCWs, patients, or visitors to pick up and transmit bacteria and viruses that cause infection. It is critical to disinfect hospital surfaces, especially those surfaces that are frequently touched by hands of HCWs and patients.
- disinfectant needs to have a broad spectrum kill of pathogens with long-acting antimicrobial activity.
- a persistent, long-acting surface disinfectant continues to be effective between normal cleanings of a surface.
- the disinfectant continues to kill pathogens for days or weeks. More, preferably the disinfectant would have continuing antimicrobial activity for 30 days or more. Then, it continues to be bacteristatic for another month or longer.
- the disinfectant should kill bacteria (gram positive and gram negative), viruses, fungi, mold and mildew.
- the surface disinfectant requires ingredients that are safe for patients and HCWs.
- hospitals have concerns about using products that contain phenol, due to problems it caused with small babies in the past.
- CDC has stated that phenol can be used in the same room as a baby, but not in direct contact, so do not use it in incubators or bassinets.
- Some hospitals prefer not having phenol products anywhere in the hospital for fear that it could be used in the areas that are not appropriate.
- EPA has four categories for labeling the product. Category I requires a "Danger” signal word.
- Category II requires "Warning” on the label.
- Category III and Category IV both require “Caution” as a signal word for labeling.
- the surface disinfectant should not have a strong, offensive odor.
- Some people object to the strong odor from phenol, chlorine, and other hospital products. When the odor is offensive, there is a tendency to not use it properly or thoroughly. Also, hospitals want to turn over their rooms in a short time after a patient discharge. An offensive odor can delay the turnover time. Phenol and chlorine have strong odors that are offensive to some HCWs.
- the disinfectant ingredients should not harm the people that apply it. And, the disinfectant should not damage the applicable surface. Chlorine disinfectants are very caustic and can permanently damage some surfaces.
- Chlorine disinfectants despite the offensive odor and corrosiveness , are used in many hospitals because it is one of the few disinfectants that kill C. difficile spores. These sodium chloride disinfectants have a very effective kill, but there is no persistent, long-acting antimicrobial activity. There is also a great need for an improved hand sanitizer for use in healthcare. Current hospital hand sanitizers have alcohol (normally 60-90 percent ethanol) as the active ingredient. Ethanol is very effective in killing 99.99 percent of pathogens except for spores
- the improved hand sanitizer should have broad
- the improved hand sanitizer should be compatible with the use of alcohol sanitizers or soap and water, so that HCWs can comply to Hand Hygiene Guidelines.
- the improved hand sanitizer' s protective, persistent killing layer does not wash off easily by washing with soap and water or by the frequent use of alcohol sanitizers. It should have little odor or a pleasant smell.
- HCWs will desire to use the improved sanitizer because it helps their hands and allows them to improve patient safety by reducing the number of HAIs. Because the hands are healed, the improved hand sanitizer allows better compliance to the Hand Hygiene Guidelines' required use of alcohol sanitizers or washing with soap and water. CDC and World Health Organization have both stated that there is a need for sanitizers that kill germs persistently. This invention fulfills that need.
- This invention provides novel antimicrobial
- compositions which provide multiple actions against bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold and mildew, resulting in a broad-spectrum killing of pathogens.
- the long-acting sanitizer or disinfectant has an effective initial kill, followed by long-acting antimicrobial, sanitizing
- antimicrobial compositions are novel because they utilize active ingredients that kill microorganisms chemically and other ingredients that kill the
- the chemical killing ingredient may vary depending on the application. For instance, the chemicals for disinfecting hard surfaces may be stronger and more toxic than a sanitizing chemical that is used on hands.
- compositions for the surfaces and hands both combine the chemical killing with a mechanical puncturing kill from the organosilane .
- the combination of killing chemically and mechanically provides a broader spectrum kill and a long-acting, persistent kill.
- Pathogens do not acquire resistance to the organosilane because it is a mechanical puncturing of the cell. There is no chemical poisoning to resist. These compositions provide a fast-acting, broad spectrum kill that provides long-term, persistent antimicrobial activity, which is very effective in preventing the transmission of
- the surface disinfectant uses phenol, phenol
- composition contains at least one phenol or phenol complex chosen from 0.01-1.5 percent phenol (PC code 64001), 0.01-1.5 percent -phenylphenol (PC code 64103), 0.01-1.5 percent p-tert-Amylphenol (PC code

- the polycarboxylic acid can be chosen from succinic acid, citric acid, sorbic acid, malic acid and tartaric acid.
- the polycarboxylic acid is 0.1-0.6 percent succinic acid or 0.1-0.6 percent citric acid.
- the 1 , 3-Propanediamine, l- ( 9Z ) - 9- octadecen-l-yl- is 0.2-0.8 percent.
- P-tert-Amylphenol and/or o-phenylphenol are the phenol complexes that are preferred for this composition.
- Phenol and 2-Benzyl-4-chlorophenol are not preferred because they have strong odors, which make them less desired by hospital personnel.
- phenol is not preferred because some hospitals have concerns about the use of phenol near new born children. Phenol was a problem with new born babies in the past, but this was caused by using much higher percentages of phenol than proposed in this invention.
- 2-Benzyl-4-chlorophenol can also be more toxic and is not preferred for hospital applications.
- the mechanical puncturing antimicrobial activity is provided by an organosilane compound (0.01-5.0 percent).
- the organosilane is capable of forming a very long-term or almost a permanent bond to a surface.
- the organosilane contributes added antimicrobial activity, biocidal
- the organosilane does not evaporate or release a chemical like a phenol complex when it kills a
- the organosilane material remains present with the same concentration as long as it is bonded to the surface.
- the organosilane molecule punctures the cell wall of the microorganism, and the positive electrical charge of the organosilane kills the pathogen.
- the organosilane remains bonded to the surface, positively charged, and will continue to mechanically puncture many pathogen cells to deactivate or kill them.

- the composition includes 50 percent to 80 percent alcohol (chosen from ethanol, methanol, and n- propanol) to provide an initial killing action which is fast and very effective against most microorganisms. More preferably, the composition will contain 60 percent to 72 percent alcohol. Preferably, the chosen alcohol is ethanol. The alcohol dries quickly, but it is no longer effective in killing pathogens after it evaporates or dries. Alcohol has no persistent kill, but it can kill 99.99 percent of most pathogens very fast, before it evaporates. Hospitals prefer a fast-acting disinfectant that dries quickly, so that the disinfected surface can be used without waiting a long time for the disinfectant to dry .
- alcohol Chosen from ethanol, methanol, and n- propanol
- the most preferred surface disinfectant composition will include ethanol, p-tert-Amylphenol , o-phenylphenol , and 3- (trihydroxysilyl) propyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride.

- the active ingredients are 61.8 percent ethanol, 0.44 percent o-phenylphenol, 0.33 percent p-tert-Amylphenol, and 0.32 percent 3- (trihydroxysilyl) propyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride.
- Film forming ingredients were added to enhance the long-acting antimicrobial activity. It is approved as a "dual action disinfectant", “Tuberculocidal”, “Kills 99.99 percent Germs on hard non-porous surfaces", “Kills 99.99 percent MRSA & VRE", "Bactericidal", "Viricidal-HINI and Rhinovirus". Tuberculocidal is a claim that is only attained by very powerful disinfectants. Surprisingly, this powerful disinfectant has a low toxicity. EPA registered this formulation as Category III, which
- Some disinfectant applications discourage the use of alcohol. Certain applications have a risk of alcohol abuse or there are concerns about a fire hazards.
- composition without alcohol may be required or preferred.
- organosilane is an effective disinfectant without any alcohol. However, it is not as quick killing, or fast drying as the composition that includes alcohol. But, even without alcohol, the formulation containing phenol compounds and the organosilane remains an effective disinfectant with persistent, long-acting antimicrobial activity, especially when combined with a film-forming ingredient.

- This layer is formulated to not wash off easily with soap and water or alcohol sanitizers, providing a persistent killing action between the frequent hand washings.
- the layer helps protect HCWs' hands from the harsh effects of frequent use of soap and water or alcohol sanitizers.
- This protective layer allows dry, cracked hands to heal and moisturize. Healthcare workers are able to better comply with the frequent sanitizing requirements of hospital Hand Hygiene Guidelines when their hands are healthy. HCWs' hands do not hurt when using an alcohol sanitizer because the alcohol will touch the protective layer on the hands and does not touch the skin of the hands .
- the polymeric, hydrophobic layer for suspending the antimicrobial chemical is an emulsion comprised of a mixture of Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl, and Butyl Parabenzene and USP White Wax in combination with an acrylic carbomer, such as Carbopol 934-P.

- HCW hands Persistent, long-term killing of pathogens on HCWs' hands and long-term killing of microorganisms on the surfaces that the HCW s hands touch makes it difficult for HCWs to transmit infections to patients. This is especially effective when the persistent sanitizer and disinfectant products are used in addition to the normal CDC Hand Hygiene Guidelines.
- This method instructs HCWs to apply persistent hand sanitizing lotion at the start of their workday, after washing and drying their hands. Then, reapply the lotion at least every 3 to 4 hours.
- This hand sanitizing lotion is used in addition to the hospital's Hand Hygiene
- the Guidelines normally require HCWs to use alcohol sanitizers or wash with soap and water before and after treating each patient.
- HCWs compliance to the Guidelines is acknowledged to be poor, sometimes less than 50 percent compliance. Dry, cracked hands are often stated as the reason for poor compliance.
- the hand sanitizing lotion protects and helps to heal the dry, cracked hands, allowing HCWs to improve their compliance to the Guidelines. The hands no longer hurt when using alcohol or washing with soap and water, because the hands are protected by the polymeric,
- the lotion is used in addition to the current hand hygiene requirements.
- the lotion provides a persistent kill in between normal hand hygiene. Since current protocol is maintained, there is no concern that the use of the lotion will be a step backwards in the fight against pathogens.
- the addition of the lotion helps heal hands, increasing the compliance to the Guidelines and the effectiveness of the Hand Hygiene Guidelines.
- the method also requires the monthly use of a long- acting surface disinfectant, preferably with the long- acting organosilane antimicrobial activity. Hospital personnel (normally housekeeping or environmental

This includes beds, bed rail/release, door handles, door and frame, carts, light switch, telephone, TV remote, call buttons, elevator buttons, hall railings, carts, table tops, countertops, window sill, chairs, walkers, gurneys, wheelchairs, toilet, bathroom surfaces, lamps, bedside equipment, cables, blood pressure cuffs, computer, keyboard, nurse station surfaces, clipboards, etc. It does not include floors, ceilings or other surfaces that are not routinely touched.
- the disinfectant should be applied after each terminal clean of a patient room. Terminal clean is the cleaning of a patient room after a patient is discharged and before the next patient uses the room.
- the organosilane surface disinfectant composition is not a detergent or cleaner. This method for using the surface disinfectant is more effective when the surfaces are cleaned prior to applying the disinfectant.
- the organosilane compound attaches better and continues to be active for a longer time when the surface has been pre- cleaned.
- the disinfectant with the organosilane has extended, long-acting, residual antimicrobial activity, which results in a very effective reduction of the
- ATL Germ Pro Surface Disinfectant Plus, the present invention, to determine residual antimicrobial activity. Pre-cleaned surfaces were sprayed with the disinfectant and allowed to dry. The surfaces were inoculated with S. aureus at time zero, 5 days, 10 days, and 30 days. Even after 30 days, there was a kill rate of 99.97 percent. ATL test report is available. In order to attain these results, it is important to apply the Germ Pro coating to a clean surface and allow it to dry. This requires a two step process of cleaning, then disinfecting. A combined cleaner/sanitizer (like the Avery ⁇ 943 patent) is popular with hospitals because less labor is required. However, a combined cleaner/sanitizer (like the Avery ⁇ 943 patent) is popular with hospitals because less labor is required.
