Abstract

Purpose: The present study was aimed to compare the results of disinfection efficacy tested by membrane filtration method with dilution-neutralization method to develop the standard methods for evaluating disinfection efficacy of contact lens care products and to provide the result of disinfection efficacy of commercially available contact lens care products in domestic market. Methods: The results of disinfection efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Candida albicans evaluated by membrane filtration method as a FDA standard and dilution-neutralization method as newly being a KFDA standard were compared and the disinfection efficacy of 16 multi-purpose solutions was further evaluated. Results: The disinfectants and contact lens care products having strong disinfection efficacy showed same results in both membrane filtration method and dilution-neutralization method. In case of contact lens care products having weak disinfection efficacy, the number of micro-organisms was not able to count since the colony was aggregated when evaluated by membrane filtration method. However, the number of micro-organisms was able to exactly count when evaluated by dilution-neutralization method. In addition, some commercially available contact lens care products did not meet disinfection standard and especially, their disinfection effect was often weak against Serratia marcescen and Candida albicans. Conclusions: It is concluded that dilution-neutralization method will be useful to evaluate disinfection efficacy since it is possible to count micro-organisms more precisely even with small amount of sample and check the results faster compared with membrane filtration method.

목적: 콘택트렌즈 관리용품의 살균력 효능 검사법 기준 개발을 위하여 막여과법(Membrane filtration method)과 희석중화법(Dilution-neutralization method)의 살균력 검사 결과를 비교하고 시판되고 있는 콘택트렌즈 관리용품의 살균력을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법: 포도상구균(Staphylococcus aureus), 녹농균(Pseudomonas aeruginosa), 세라티아균(Serratia marces cens), 칸디다균(Candida albicans)을 대상으로 하여 FDA(Food and Drug Administration)기준인 막여과법과 식품의약품안전처에서 새롭게 가이드라인으로 제시할 희석중화법의 살균력 효능 결과를 비교하였으며 총 20종 다목적 용액의 살균력을 측정하였다. 결과: 살균효과가 강한 살균 성분 및 관리용품의 효능은 막여과법과 희석중화법 모두 동일한 결과를 나타냈다. 살균효과가 약한 관리용품의 경우는 막여과법 검사시에는 균이 뭉쳐있어 정확한 균 수 측정이 불가능하였으나 희석중화법 검사시는 정확한 균 수 측정이 가능해짐을 확인하였다. 또한 시판되고 있는 관리용품 중에는 살균력 기준을 통과하지 못한 제품이 존재하였으며 특히 세라티아균과 칸디다균에 대한 살균력이 약한 경우가 많았다. 결론: 막여과법에 비해 희석중화법이 소량의 샘플로 더 정확하게 균수를 측정하는 것이 가능하며 결과 확인이 빨라 살균력 효능 검사시 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
