Processes to inhibit microorganisms present in washing clothes and microbial growth on a hard surface and to exterminate microbial cells present in the skin of humans or animals in the mucous membranes in the teeth in bruises or eye injuries or to inhibit their growth

摘要

The present invention provides a method of killing or inhibiting the growth of microbial cells present on laundry, comprising contacting the cells with a composition comprising a poly-cationic compound, preferably a polyamino acid, a polyvinylamine, a copolymer prepared from vinylamine and one or more carboxylic acid anhydrides, e.g. a polymer comprising 0.1-100 mol % vinyl amine or ethyleneimine units, 0-99.9 mol % units of at least one monomer selected from N-vinylcarboxamides of the formula Iwherein R1 and R2 are hydrogen or C1-C6-alkyl;vinyl formate, vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl alcohol, C1-C6-alkyl vinyl ether, mono ethylenic unsaturated C3-C8-carboxylic acid, and esters, nitrites, amides and anhydrides thereof, N-vinylurea, N-imidazoles and N-vinyl imidazolines; and0-5 mol % units of monomers having at least two unsaturated ethylenic double bonds;and one or more enzymes, preferably glycanases, muranases, oxidoreductases, glucanases, proteases, amylases, lipases, pectinases and xylanases.
