Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of disinfectant technology, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying a compound biological enzyme quaternary ammonium salt preparation for pet disinfection. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, pet ownership has become a common lifestyle. While pets bring companionship and joy, their living environment can easily breed and spread various pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria (including drug-resistant bacteria), fungi, and viruses, posing a potential threat to the health of the pets themselves and their family members. Therefore, regular and effective disinfection of the pet's living environment, food and water utensils, and equipment is crucial.
[0003] Currently, common pet disinfectants on the market can be mainly divided into the following categories:
[0004] Chlorine-containing disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite): have a broad bactericidal spectrum, but have a strong irritating odor, are irritating to the respiratory tract and skin mucous membranes of pets, and are highly corrosive, damaging metal utensils, etc. After use, they need to be rinsed with plenty of water, otherwise the residue may be licked and ingested by pets, posing a safety hazard.
[0005] Alcohol-based disinfectants (such as ethanol): They kill bacteria quickly, but are volatile and ineffective against bacterial spores. They also have a degreasing effect on the skin, and long-term use may cause dry and cracked skin in pets.
[0006] Single quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants: They are mild and have low irritation, but their bactericidal spectrum is relatively narrow. In particular, they are not very effective against certain Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses. They are also easily affected by organic matter, and long-term use alone can induce bacteria to develop drug resistance.
[0007] With increasing awareness of pet health and public hygiene, the market urgently needs a new type of pet disinfectant that is highly effective, broad-spectrum, safe, mild, non-irritating, and unlikely to induce drug resistance. Bioenzymes (such as lysozyme and lysostaphylococcal lysozyme), as a novel antibacterial substance, are gaining attention due to their unique enzymatic mechanism, which specifically destroys bacterial cell walls, making them less prone to drug resistance and exhibiting good biocompatibility. Plant extracts (such as peony flower extract) are also a research hotspot due to their various natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory active ingredients. However, no reports have yet documented a successful application of a scientifically formulated combination of quaternary ammonium salts, multiple bioenzymes, and plant extracts in the field of pet disinfection. Summary of the Invention

[0042] 2. Solution preparation:
[0043] Solution A: Add 4.0g benzalkonium bromide and 1.0g lactic acid to 500ml deionized water while stirring, and stir until completely dissolved.
[0044] Solution B: In 200ml of deionized water, at a temperature of 30℃, add 0.5g of lysozyme, 0.05g of lysostaphin and 0.2g of sodium hyaluronate in sequence, and stir gently until completely dissolved.
[0045] Solution C: Add 2.0g of peony bud extract to 200ml of deionized water and stir until completely dissolved.
[0046] 3. Mixing and Volume Adjustment: Under constant temperature of 30℃, stir solution A at 200 rpm, and slowly add solutions B and C sequentially. Make up the volume to 1000 ml with the remaining deionized water, and continue stirring for 20 minutes to ensure thorough mixing of all components.
[0047] 4. Post-treatment: Stop stirring and let stand for 30 minutes to defoam. Filter through a 0.22µm filter membrane for sterilization to obtain the compound biological enzyme quaternary ammonium salt preparation described in this invention. The product has a pH value of 4.5.
[0048] This embodiment scientifically combines a compound quaternary ammonium salt with various biological enzymes (lysozyme, lysostaphylococcal enzyme), plant extracts (peony bud extract), and organic acids (lactic acid) to fully leverage the synergistic effects of each component, overcoming the shortcomings of single-component formulations such as narrow bactericidal spectrum, easy induction of drug resistance, and high skin irritation. This formulation exhibits rapid and efficient killing effects against a variety of microorganisms, including Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and poliovirus.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] This embodiment uses different formulations and their killing effects on major pathogens.
[0051] In this embodiment, different formulation groups were set up, with Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Escherichia coli (ATCC8099) as indicator bacteria. The synergistic bactericidal effect of the present invention was verified by referring to the quantitative bactericidal test method of suspension in the "Disinfection Technical Specification".
[0052] Preparation of test bacterial suspension: After activating the test bacterial strain, it was prepared with tryptone physiological saline (TPS) to a concentration of approximately 1× 10⁻⁶ bacteria. CFU / mL bacterial suspension.
[0053] Neutralizing agent identification: Preliminary tests have determined that a PBS solution containing 0.5% lecithin, 0.5% sodium thiosulfate, and 3% Tween-80 can be used as an effective neutralizing agent.
[0054] Bactericidal test: Under 20℃ water bath conditions, mix 0.5 ml of bacterial suspension with 0.5 ml of 3% bovine serum albumin (organic interfering agent). Add 4.0 ml of diluted disinfectant (each formulation stock solution diluted 250 times with sterile hard water). After 5 min of contact, immediately add 0.5 ml of the mixture to the 4.5 ml solution for neutralization. After 10 min of neutralization, count the viable bacteria and calculate the kill log value. The test was repeated 3 times. The positive control group used sterile hard water instead of disinfectant.
[0055] Experimental Groups:
[0056] Control group 1: 0.4% benzalkonium bromide (a single quaternary ammonium salt).
[0057] Control group 2: 0.05% lysozyme + 0.005% lysostaphin (complex enzyme).
[0058] Control group 3: 0.2% peony bud extract.
[0059] Experimental group: The formulation of Example 1 of this invention (containing 0.4% benzalkonium bromide, 0.05% lysozyme, 0.005% lysostaphin, 0.2% peony bud extract, 0.1% lactic acid, and 0.02% sodium hyaluronate).
[0060] Experimental results: The experimental results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0061] Table 1
[0062]
[0063] Results analysis:
[0064] Table 1 shows that the single component had limited killing effect on the two indicator bacteria, especially on Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). However, the experimental group of this invention, through multi-component compounding, achieved a logarithmic kill value greater than 5.00 against both Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacteria), demonstrating excellent killing effect. This indicates that there is a significant synergistic effect among the components, effectively overcoming the bactericidal defects of single components through multi-target attack, and achieving broad-spectrum and highly efficient bactericidal activity.
[0065] Example 3
[0066] The compound biological enzyme quaternary ammonium salt preparation prepared in Example 1 was diluted 250 times according to the instructions, and the following pet products were subjected to disinfection tests:
[0067] Pet food bowl disinfection: Five used pet food bowls were taken, washed, and soaked in a diluted solution for 10 minutes. Then, sterile cotton swabs were used to sample the inner wall of the bowls for viable bacteria counting. Results showed that the average total bacterial count decreased by more than 99.99% compared to before disinfection.
[0068] Pet toy disinfection: Take 5 plush pet toys, spray them evenly with diluted solution until the surface is moist, and leave for 10 minutes. Then, use a sterile cotton swab to sample the surface of the toys and count the viable bacteria. The results showed that the average total bacterial count decreased by more than 99.9% compared with before disinfection.
[0069] Dog cage surface disinfection: Take the metal bars of 5 dog cages and wipe them with a towel soaked in diluted solution, leaving the area for 5 minutes. Then, use sterile cotton swabs to sample the wiped bar surface for viable bacteria counting. Results showed that the average total bacterial count decreased by more than 99.9% compared to before disinfection.
[0070] The results of on-site disinfection tests show that the preparation of the present invention, after dilution, has a very good killing effect on the natural bacteria on the surface of common items in the pet's living environment, and is easy to use with a mild odor.
