Figure 12. 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 C (Surface and Floor Mopping Cleaners/Detergents) 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 Surface and Floor Mopping Cleaners/Detergents against E. coli is ‘Vim Cream Multipurpose Fast Rinsing.’ The number of experimental observations is n = 3
