Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a lab method to test incontinence products for their effectiveness in reducing odors in clinical settings.
- The researchers measured bacterial growth and ammonia production in absorbent products using synthetic urine with different pH levels and antimicrobial agents.
- Results showed that lowering the pH significantly inhibited bacterial growth and ammonia formation, particularly at pH 4.5, with chlorhexidine being particularly effective against specific bacteria at various time intervals.
