In vitro
killing activity of peracetic acid (PerasafeเธŽ) at a concentration of 0.26 per cent
w/v was tested against

spore,
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
and human immuno-deficiency virus
type
I.
Exposure to Peracetic acid (0.26% w/v) for 10 minutes resulted in massive killing of all the
aforementioned organisms and spore.
