Among the physical decontamination methods, treatment with ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a suitable means of preventing viral infections. Mercury vapor lamps (254 nm) used for room decontamination are potentially damaging to human skin (radiation) and harmful to the environment (mercury). Therefore, other UV-C wavelengths (100-280 nm) may be effective for virus inactivation on skin without damaging it, e.

The question being posed by scientists around the world is how different chemical modifications of naturally occurring compounds will affect their antimicrobial properties. In the current study, sulfur derivatives of camphor containing a sulfur atom were tested to detect their antimicrobial and antibiofilm potentials. The new compounds were tested on eight Gram-positive strains ( (3 isolates), (4 isolates), and (1 isolate)) and eight Gram-negative strains ( (6 isolates), (1 isolate), and (1 isolate)).
