A suitable class of nonionic surfactants can be broadly described as compounds
produced by the condensation of simple alkylene oxides, which are hydrophilic
in
nature, with an aliphatic or alkyl-aromatic hydrophobic compound having a
reactive hydrogen atom. The length of the hydrophilic or polyoxyalkylene chain
which is attached to any particular hydrophobic group can be readily adjusted
to
yield a compound having the desired balance between hydrophilic and
hydrophobic elements. This enables the choice of nonionic surfactants with the
right KB. Particular examples include:

hirae and Staphylococcus aureus.

The test mixtures were tested to find the point on the concentration range
where
50% kill is achieved. This point defines the activity measure, A.
In this analysis, the activity is scaled so that 1= the lowest concentration

Accordingly, the lower the activity, the better the compound mixture.
