Check this out! These are just some of the articles released in the last 4 weeks on Candida Auris. This fungal infection has been elevated to an urgent threat by the CDC. Chlorine based disinfectants are now recommended as the most effective in combating this fungus and because of its neutrally charged ion hypochlorous acid is commonly thought to be 80-100 times more effective than bleach in breaching the Candida biofilm. Sodium hypochlorite/bleach has a negative charge which causes a natural repulsion from the negatively charged Candida Auris. It does eventually kill it but needs prolonged exposure whereas HOCL acts in seconds. Bleach is also limited in application because it cannot be used in electrostatic application because of its toxicity which greatly limits the treatment area.

This is why PCT is getting into the top hospitals in the country and with this kind of attention on Candida Auris demand is only going to increase as current disinfection protocols are failing to stop the spread of this deadly infection.
