The efficacy of octenidine hydrochloride (OH; 0.025, 0.15, and 0.25%) for inactivatingEscherichia coli O157:H7,Salmonella spp., andListeria monocytogenes on cattle hides was investigated at 23°C in the presence and absence of bovine feces. All tested concentrations of OH were effective in decreasing more than 5.0 log CFU of bacteria/cm2 in 5 min (P < 0.01). The results suggest that OH could be used to decontaminate cattle hides; however, further studies under commercial settings are necessary to validate these results.
