Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of compound nonoxinol on the inhibition of bacteria in vitro. METHODS The minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimal bactericidal time (MBT) of nonoxinol providine iodine and compound nonoxinol, composed of nonoxinol and providine iodine were determined by inhibiting C. albicans and N. gonorrhoeae. RESULTS Nonoxinol alone showed no inhibiting effects on bacteria. The MBT was 2 minutes for both compound nonoxinol and providine iodine, but the MBC of providine iodine was higher than that of compound nonoxinol. CONCLUSION Compound nonoxinol works better in inhibiting bacteria than either nonoxinoother or providine iodine used alone.
