The selection of a method for treatment of surfaces contaminated with rDNA microorganisms or their subcellular components will vary depending upon such factors as the type of surface or the type of equipment to be treated — in addition to considering the specific microorganisms to be inactivated. The physical decontamination technologies that can be recommended for surfaces/equipment include heat treatment and ultraviolet radiation. The chemical disinfectants such as glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, and alcohols have potential application for treatment of rDNA contaminated surfaces/equipment. Applicability of other chemicals such as chlorohexidine, quaternary ammonium compounds, ammonia, quinolines, thiazoles, chlorine solutions, and ozone gas need to be studied further.
