First EPA Approval for Biofilm Disinfection in Drains

Because they are wet, drains are a high-risk environment for biofilm growth and a vector for hospital-associated infections2 (HAIs) and recently published studies have identified sink drains as potentially important reservoirs for antibiotic-resistant organisms.3,4 When applied with a foamer, ViraseptTM is EPA Registered to kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms* in drains with a 5-minute contact time.
