Preparation and Antibacterial Activity of One Novel Leather Material
This work was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of one novel leather material treated with bactericides. The growth of bacteria species such as colibacillus and staphylococcus aureus were measured by the diameter of inhibition zone. The results showed that glutaraldehyde exhibits an antibacterial activity against colibacillus and staphylococcus aureus. Besides, it also is testified that 2-Octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one was an excellent bactericidal agents to staphylococcus aureus, instead of colibacillus. The concentrations of tea saponin and sodium above 0.05mg/L, the growth of bacteria was restrained. In addition, compared with single of bactericidal agents, the mixture of two bactericidal agents showed much better antibacterial activity. Among these antimicrobial agents, the mxture of 2-Octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and glutaraldehyde were of great potential in application.
