Changes in fine morphological structures of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and spores of Bacillus anthracis vaccine strain STI under the action of the disinfectant "Veltolen"

Changes in fine morphological structures of E. coli, S. aureus and spores of B. anthracis vaccine strain STI under the action of the disinfectant "Veltolen" manufactured by the Closed Joint-Stock Company "Velt", were evaluated. When used at concentrations of 0.0025-0.025%, the preparation induced the loosening of the cell wall in all microorganisms under study, the intensive formation of bubbles on the cell wall surface with their subsequent separation from the cell wall and the formation of "rosettes". In case of more prolonged exposure (up to 60 minutes) and higher concentrations of the preparation these phenomena became more intensive and finally led to the destruction of bacterial cells.
