Fungucidal Activity Tests

Fungi are known as fungi in Latin and fungus in English. These are organisms that can be single or multicellular. All fungi known by various names such as rust fungus, mold fungus, rastik fungus, yeast fungus, hat fungus, kav fungus or puff fungus are handled in the fungi world.

There are many kinds of fungi found in the air, in the soil and on the plant. The cell walls of fungi are not much like the cell walls of bacteria. It is more like a human cell wall. Therefore, antibiotics are not very effective against fungi. In addition, some antifungal drugs have toxic properties for human cells. The most common fungal species causing surgical infection is Candida Albicans.

Mushrooms do not contain chlorophyll and therefore get the nutrients they need to survive. They cannot produce food themselves. There is a certain cell wall around the fungal cells, they proliferate with spores and generally do not move. Some fungal species cause disease in humans and animals. They can grow rapidly in suitable environments.

The fungicidal effect is the ability of disinfectants and antiseptics to destroy fungi. Disinfectants of this nature prevent unwanted fungus and mold formation and prevent their growth.

The main fungicidal activity tests performed in disinfectant analyzes in accredited laboratories are as follows:

  • Basic fungicidal activity test of disinfectants and antiseptics
  • Fungicidal activity test of disinfectants and antiseptics used in food, home and industry
  • Fungicidal activity test of disinfectants and antiseptics used in veterinary medicine

Test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies are carried out in the laboratories accredited by domestic and foreign accreditation organizations in a reliable, fast and high quality manner.

During these studies, laboratories operate in accordance with test methods and test criteria accepted worldwide and are based on many standards published by national and international organizations.
