Effective biocide use in the kitchen is essential in order to minimize the risk of infection, especially in shared kitchens. The study aimed to assess the susceptibility of microorganisms previously isolated from a shared student kitchen to common kitchen biocides.Disc diffusion assays were used to determine the efficacy of the biocides benzalkonium chloride, sodium hypochlorite, and 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol on predominant isolates.4-chloro-3,5dimethylphenol and benzalkonium chloride demonstrated significantly greater antimicrobial activity than sodium hypochlorite. Concentration was a significant factor affecting growth inhibition only for benzalkonium chloride.
