The present disclosure relates to an assay method for the antimicrobial activity of an antimicrobial agent. The assay method for the antimicrobial activity of an antimicrobial agent according to the present disclosure comprises: injecting an antimicrobial agent into a culture medium in which a strain is grown; shaking the culture medium according to time and sampling the culture medium according to the time; after the sampling, centrifuging the culture medium into which the antimicrobial agent is injected; and after the centrifuging, measuring the number of microorganisms after culturing a bacterial solution from which the antimicrobial agent is removed, wherein the antimicrobial activity can be evaluated depending on the type and content of the antimicrobial agent, and the antimicrobial activity of the antimicrobial agent can be accurately and reliably evaluated.

Compositions comprising an activated metal or metal oxide useful for neutralizing pathogens. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a solid anti-pathogen composition comprising an active component, wherein the active component comprises particles of at least one activated metal. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides an anti-pathogen liquid composition comprising particles of an active component and in a water or saline solution, wherein the active component comprises particles of at least one activated metal. Also described herein are methods for neutralizing microbes and pathogens on surfaces and in water.

Quat-free surface treatment powders comprising a peroxide source, an acyl group donor and an alkalinity source are used to disinfect and/or sanitize hard surfaces. The surface treatment powders can be applied to a hard surface and left there for a period of time. The surface treatment powders are ambient moisture activated, which means that they can generate peracetic acid when a portion or all of the powder that is on the hard surface adsorbs water from the atmosphere. In addition or alternatively, the surface treatment powders are activated, i.e., generate peracetic acid through the incidental or purposeful addition of liquid thereto.
