Kill Attacking Amoebae
ScienceDaily (July 25, 2008) — Bacteria rarely come as loners; more often they grow in crowds
and squat on surfaces where they form a community together. These so-called biofilms develop
on any surface that bacteria can attach themselves to. The dilemma we face is that neither
disinfectants and antibiotics, nor phagocytes and our immune system can destroy these biofilms.
 Amoebae normally attack and kill harmful pathogens
 Pathogens have become Resistant (biofilm bacteria use
chemical weapons to defend themselves.)
 They clump together and build a slimy fortress of defense
 Effective in the presence of all amoebae, killing them or causing
them to become de-activated

Overview
Antimicrobial agents are used to kill
or limit growth of microorganisms.
ÆGIS
Microbe
Shield™,
an
antimicrobial agent composed of a
silane quaternary ammonium salt, is
featured for its durability and efficacy
against both gram-negative and
gram-positive bacteria. This research
studied
the effectiveness of the
antimicrobial agent as a treatment for
cotton fabric. Cotton fabric samples
were coated with the antimicrobial
agent, then tested against three
species of bacteria. The samples
were shaken in a bacterial solution to
allow contact with the microbes, and
the number of viable bacteria were
counted. The data were compared to
the numbers of bacteria with
untreated fabric. This research
reveals that the antimicrobial agent
reduced the numbers of bacteria
exposed to the treated cotton fabric.

Research
 The three types of bacteria were
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus
epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilus. For
each test, the bacteria were grown in
Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) for eighteen
hours at room temperature. The
bacteria were diluted in 0.003M KH2PO4
to 72 percent transmission using a Vitek
Colorimeter. For testing, the bacteria
were diluted 1:1000 to 1.5-3.0 x 105
cfu/mL. Then, 50mL aliquots of the
diluted bacteria were distributed into
sterile 250mL flasks.
 The number of bacteria were
determined by the pour plate method
using Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA). The
control was plated at “0” contact time.
The nine flasks were agitated in a
reciprocal shaker at 120 RPM. After one
hour, all bacteria samples were plated

Air-Assisted Electrostatic Sprayers
 The charged droplets seek out
surfaces by electrostatic forces. The
result is a uniform spray coverage in
hidden areas: underside, crevices,
holes, and empty spaces you can’t
see with a naked eye.
•RESULTS: is over 30 to 45-fold
increase to these hidden areas.
