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