Problems solved by technology

Mastitis is always a potentially serious infection.
Severe cases may cause death to the dairy animal.
Milder cases are more common, but may have serious consequences, such as long term damage to the animal, loss of milk production for the dairy farmer and an unacceptable increase in veterinary costs.
Some of the available teat dip agents suffer from serious drawbacks.
Additionally, the use of overly powerful disinfectants may contribute to the mastitis problem by causing irritation of the teat skin, thus providing an opportunistic site which promotes infection.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]There will now be shown and described as a particular embodiment, an antimicrobial liquid composition that contains an organic acid mixed with an anionic surfactant. The organic acid, e.g., lactic acid, may be mixed with a carrier that is formulated according to the intended environment of use.

[0015]As used herein, the term “organic acid” means an organic compound that is an acid. The most common examples are the carboxylic acids having an acidity that derives from a carboxyl group —COOH. Other groups may also impart weak acidity, especially hydroxyl (—OH) groups, thiol (—SH) groups, enol groups (—C═C(OH)—), sulfate groups (—OSO3H), sulfonate groups (—SO3H) and phenols. Preferred organic acids have a carbon number less than twenty, and this number is even more preferably less than ten. The organic acids may be aliphatic, aryl, aromatic, unsubstituted or substituted with functional groups. The substituent(s) may be attached to any position of the carbon chain or carbon ring. Th...

Abstract

A liquid antimicrobial composition comprising an organic acid and one or more anionic surfactants is disclosed. In one embodiment, the organic acid is lactic acid and the anionic surfactant is sodium octane sulfonate. In a preferred embodiment, the antimicrobial solution is formulated as a teat dip for lactating animals, particularly cows. In other embodiments, the antimicrobial compositions may be used in personal care, hard surface care including hard surface disinfection in households, food processing, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, showers, or topically as hand soaps, surgical scrubs, and hoof disease mitigators.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority to commonly-owned and copending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60 / 843,113, filed 8 Sep. 2006, and 60 / 888,243, filed 5 Feb. 2007, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention pertains to antimicrobial compositions of the type that may be used to control or destroy pathogenic microorganisms. More particularly, various antimicrobial agents are shown to work with cooperative effects against microorganisms in a wide variety of applications.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Antimicrobial compositions are used to reduce the risk of infection. For example, antimicrobials are used to disinfect surfaces in hospitals, lavatories, food preparation facilities, and offices. Other uses include the control of pathogenic organisms on skin, where they may be used to reduce the transmission of disease or infection, e.g., as surgical sc...
