Fig. 2. Logarithmic reduction values of (a) carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and (b) multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MRPA) after 0, 1, 3, and 5 h of exposure to 40 ppm and 300 ppm of aerosolized HOCl (n = 3, mean ± SD). Purified water was used as negative control. HOCl, hypochlorous acid water; LOD, limit of detection.
