Abstract
Isobutyl cyanoacrylate produced varying degrees of growth inhibition when applied to freshly plated Petri dishes of Staphylococcus aureus, Gaffkya, Neisseria catarrhalis, and a-Streptococcus. A biproduct or diffusible substance produced by the polymer was implicated as the cause. Destruction of growing colonies was observed only with a-Streptococcus after polymer application. The mechanism for this was not determined.
