Radio Interview with Dr Katie Fisher
"At the Unviersity of Northampton we have developed a natural antimicrobial vapour (patent filed) that has shown to be effective against a large range of bacteria including, Staphylococcus, vancomycin resistant Enterococcus, C. difficile and its spores and postharvest pathogens (Fungi and their spores)
The vapour reduces bacteria on surfaces by 99.9% in 24 hrs and by 99.9% on food in 45 seconds. It has applications in the clinical arena for the decontamination of surfaces and air, thus reducing hospital acquired infections. In the food industry it has the potential to reduce spoilage of crops during storage/transport or growth in a green house environment and also for the reduction of pathogens on fresh produce (fruit/veg) thus reducing the potential for food poisoning from these foodstuffs.
Due to the vapour being natural and completely safe it can be used on food which are sold as organic and is also a natural alternative to some of the toxic chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide used in hospitals."
