Footwear worn by overseas visitors or carried in luggage could bring unwanted microorganisms into New Zealand. Current border biosecurity involves checks of footwear and treatment of contaminated shoes with the disinfectant dipotassium peroxodisulphate (Virkon). A range of disinfectants was tested for activity against bacteria and fungi present in soil obtained from a boot worn in New Zealand. Solutions of commercially available disinfectants were prepared as per the manufacturers’ instructions. Soil was scraped from the boot, and g added to 0 ml sterile water and mixed well with a vortex. An aliquot ( ml) of the soil solution was added to each of 0 ml of disinfectant solutions, mixed well and stood for 5 min. The mixture (0.5 ml) was evenly spread over agar plates (malt extract agar for isolating fungi and agar amended with antibiotics for bacteria). All disinfectants tested significantly reduced the growth of bacteria and fungi compared with untreated controls. Sodium hypochlorite (2%) gave almost complete kill of bacteria. Four disinfectants (sodium hypochlorite, phenols (Prephen), hypobromous acid (Nylate) and calcium hypochlorite (Haz-Tab)) gave complete kill of fungi. The results suggest that sodium hypochlorite at 2% could be highly effective for decontamination of footwear.
