[0078] (1) Sterilization test

[0079] Escherichia coli (strain standard number: ATCC 25922) and Staphylococcus aureus (strain standard number: ATCC 6538) were selected as the test strains. The bactericidal test in QB / T 2738-2023 "Evaluation Method for Antibacterial and Antibacterial Effects of Daily Chemical Products" was used to perform the test and calculate the bactericidal rate. Among them, the bactericidal rate calculation formula is: Bactericidal rate (%) = (average colony count CFU / mL of control sample - average colony count CFU / mL of test sample) / average colony count CFU / mL of control sample × 100%.

[0080] Table 1 Bactericidal test results

[0081]
