Abstract

1 -
The fungicidal power of seven disinfectants was compared with that of pure phenol on different fungal species.
2 - Prophyl was found to be the most effective fungicidal disinfect
ant followed by Crown, lodocor, Phenique Abdin and Nascosept. 3 - Pure phenol, its mean effective fungicidal dilution was 1:58
for fungi suspended in saline, but this prepration is not used
for surface disifection as it was very expensive. 4 - Milk of lime and lime wash were found to lack any disinfection
power against fungi suspended in saline or on any contaminated surfaces under test.
