Abstract

Medical equipments, instruments and hands of medical personnel serve as one of the most important vehicles for the transmission of nosocomial infections, and as a result of this, disinfection and sterilization are considered as a main part of any infection control program. Wide range of different disinfectants is currently available, but outdated recommendations for its use are often published in domestically produced literature. In the article the main questions of terminology are discussed; the most commonly used groups of disinfectants and antiseptics are described; the approaches for disinfectants selection depending on the type of the disinfecting surface are advised.
