This disclosure relates to sporicidal compositions and uses thereof. The sporicidal compositions include one or more cationic steroidal antimicrobials (CSAs). The sporicidal compositions may be applied to an object to kill or deactivate bacterial spores contacting the sporicidal composition. The object may be a food product, food processing equipment, industrial equipment, or healthcare facility objects. The sporicidal composition may be administered to a subject that has, is suspected to have, or is at risk for an infection associated with spore-forming bacteria.

A benzoxaborole formulation composition including a benzoxaborole, a non-ionic surfactant, or a non-ionic and ionic surfactant mixture, and a carrier is described herein. At least one of the non-ionic surfactant, the non-ionic and ionic surfactant mixture, and the carrier comprise a Lewis base or a NH or OH bond. The carrier is a solid or a liquid. Benzoxaborole compounds and methods of using the compounds and formulations of the compounds are described. For example, a method for reducing, preventing, ameliorating, or inhibiting an infestation by a pathogen by applying a compound or a formulation of a compound, wherein the pathogen is selected from insects, nematodes, bacteria, microbes, fungi, protozoa, viruses, and parasites, or any combinations thereof is described.
