<strong>Objective</strong>. Evaluate the dilution-neutralization method proposed in the Colombian Technical Norm 5473/07, by using a gel, alcoholbased disinfectant. <strong>Materials and methods</strong>. This study was done using Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, and Enterococcus hirae ATCC 10541 as the assay microorganisms. The study was carried out at 20±1°C as obligatory temperature and additionally at 36±1°C. Four contact times between microorganisms and the disinfectant were evaluated (0, 2, 5 and 10 minutes). The assay was done both under clean conditions (0.3 g/L of bovine serum albumin), and unclean conditions (3 g/L of bovine serum albumin and 3g/L of sheep erythrocytes). <strong>Results</strong>. The implementation of this method produced precise results in all of the six<br />repetitions used during the assay. The obtained results demonstrated a logarithmic reduction higher than five, demonstrating the bactericidal activity exerted by the disinfectant on the control microorganisms. The established experimental conditions and methodology did not affect negatively the growth of any of the strains of microorganisms. Similarly, the neutralizing used did not inhibit the development of the microorganisms of the assay.<strong> Conclusions</strong>. The method was verified by means of the fulfillment of the limits set by the rule. Our results suggest that the method evaluated by means of the implementation of the protocol established in the Colombian Technical Norm 5473/07, allows evaluating the effectiveness of a disinfectant under selected and controlled experimental conditions.<br /><br /><strong>Key words</strong>: disinfection, clean conditions, unclean conditions, dilution-neutralization method, logarithmic reduction.

The current study was designed to investigate the interactions of an antimicrobial drug secnidazole and its two transition metal complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The interactions of secnidazole and its both transition metal complexes were confirmed by the extingushing of fluorescence intensity of the protein. The fluorescence quenching of BSA by the drug and its both metal complexes showed a static quenching process and the reactions followed exothermic mechanism. The fluorescence spectroscopic method was utilized to evaluate the thermodynamic parameters like change of enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS) and Gibb’s free energy (ΔG) which indicated the bindings of the antimicrobial agent and its both metal chelates were hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions. The binding constant and the number of binding sites were also measured by double log plot that indicated the drug or its metal complexes bound with BSA at 1:1 ratio.

The binding of bilirubin to rat-alpha-foetoprotein has been measured by changes in the absorption spectrum and by the appearance of two intense circular-dichroism bands. Furthermore binding of this bile pigment has been demonstrated by a decrease of its enzymic oxidation rate and by competition experiments with bovine serum albumin-agarose. The binding parameters have been determined as follows: n = 1.0 mol bound/mol of protein and Ka = 2.9 × 10(6) M-1. Competition of oestradiol for the bilirubin-binding site has not been established.
