Chlorine consumption assessed by iodometric titration showed a biphasic time-course with a very fast loss of oxidation capacity within one minute (N-chlorotaurine: \u2014 9.3%, chloramine T: \u221216.8%) followed by a slow loss which could still be detected after 24 h (total loss \u221261.7% and \u221274.1%, respectively). Killing curves revealed that an increase in bactericidal activity, in spite of improved consumption, did not occur with all strains, and could be detected only at a certain degree of consumption. Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed the most pronounced effect, Streptococcus pyogenes and Proteus mirabilis a medium-sized one, while it was absent in Staphylococcus aureus. With chloramine T, an increase in bactericidal activity could not be proved. The chemical basis of these consumption effects can be reduced to four reaction types: oxidation of thiols; chlorine substitution of activated C-H compounds; transhalogenation; and hydrolytic degradation of N-chloro-\u03b1-amino acids and -peptides emerging by transhalogenation. The initial fast loss of oxidation capacity can be attributed mainly to oxidation of thiols, while the subsequent slower decrease is caused by the other types of reaction. The increase in bactericidal activity, on the other hand, can be explained by transhalogenation, leading to the formation of more bactericidal N-chloro compounds by which the loss of N-chlorotaurine is over-compensated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1211\/0022357011775811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,18]],"date-time":"2003-07-18T23:43:52Z","timestamp":1058571832000},"page":"689-697","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["The influence of plasma on the disinfecting activity of the new antimicrobial agent <i>N<\/i>-chlorotaurine-sodium in comparison with chloramine T"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Waldemar","family":"Gottardi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Hygiene und Social Medicine, University of Innsbruck ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Hagleitner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Hygiene und Social Medicine, University of Innsbruck ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Nagl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Hygiene und Social Medicine, University of Innsbruck ,","place":["Austria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024103110060981900_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.2874.160","article-title":"Studies in antiseptics (II).
