Sensitivity of consumer antibacterial and non-antibacterial body washes against bacterial skin pathogens / Khairatul Ayyun Mohd Ramli

Consumer antibacterial and non-antibacterial body washes namely Dettol, Lifebuoy, T3, Lux, Shokubutsu and Palmolive were investigated for their bactericidal activities against bacterial skin pathogens, which were Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aerugi...

Gentamicin 10µg was used as control. Both types of body wash were prepared by diluting into 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 concentrations, and were impregnated into filter paper discs.

Dettol was able to inhibit the growth of S. aureus and S. pyogenes at all concentrations. Lifebuoy can only inhibit the growth of S. pyogenes at all concentrations. P. aeruginosa was resistant towards all of these antibacterial body washes at any concentrations. Among the non-antibacterial body washes, Palmolive showed bactericidal activity at 1:1 and 1:2 concentrations by inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and S. pyogenes.
