Figure 11. The putative immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and bactericidal mechanisms are estimated by determining the probable effective ratios. The maximal effective ratio (ER) of Class B (Toilet Bowl Cleaners/Bleaches/Sanitizers) on gram-negative bacteria. ER was calculated as the ratio of each bacterium with maximal zone of inhibition against the minimum zone of inhibition (set as 1) within the same category, such that ER = Zone max / Zone min. This ratio determines the most effective treatment for each bacterium and its comparative effectiveness against rest of antiseptics and disinfectants. For instance, the highest most effective Toilet Bowl Cleaners/Bleaches/Sanitizers against E. coli is ‘WC Net Bleach Gel.’ The number of experimental observations is n = 3 : The Immunomodulatory, Antimicrobial and Bactericidal Efficacy of Commonly Used Commercial Household Disinfectants, Sterilizers and Antiseptics in Vitro: Laboratory Assessment of Anti-Inflammatory Infection Control Mechanisms and Comparative Biochemical Analysis of the Microbial Growth of Gram-Negative Bacteria : Science and Education Publishing

Figure 11. The putative immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and bactericidal mechanisms are estimated by determining the probable effective ratios. The maximal effective ratio (E_R) of Class B (Toilet Bowl Cleaners/Bleaches/Sanitizers) on gram-negative bacteria. E_R was calculated as the ratio of each bacterium with maximal zone of inhibition against the minimum zone of inhibition (set as 1) within the same category, such that E_R = Zone _max / Zone _min. This ratio determines the most effective treatment for each bacterium and its comparative effectiveness against rest of antiseptics and disinfectants. For instance, the highest most effective Toilet Bowl Cleaners/Bleaches/Sanitizers against E. coli is ‘WC Net Bleach Gel.’ The number of experimental observations is n = 3
