Efficacy of Traditional and Natural Disinfectants Against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

A study determined minimum bactericidal concentrations for 10 disinfectant ingredients against 11 bacterial species. The dataset includes results from in vitro efficiency tests and in situ analyses on hospital surfaces, with metabolomic analysis for two key pathogens. The data was authored by Gabriella Rayane Aparecida Ferreira and last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of traditional chemical disinfectants versus natural extracts based on log reduction cycles.
• Identify active ingredients with rapid bactericidal action (e.g., within 1 minute) based on minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) results.
• Analyze the metabolic response mechanisms of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to promising disinfectant compounds.
• Evaluate the practical performance of disinfectants on real hospital surfaces based on in situ test results.

Strengths

• Includes results for 10 distinct active ingredients tested against 11 bacterial species.
• Reports specific log reduction averages, such as 7.07 ± 0.331 for traditional products and 6.60 ± 0.33 for neem extract.
• Combines in vitro laboratory testing with in situ analysis on hospital surfaces.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (76.1 KB), indicating a limited scope of experimental results.
