Compositions and methods to disinfect, treat and prevent microbial infections

Abstract

The present invention provides new storable and stable disinfectant compositions comprising use of a solid precursor of an oxidized state of chlorine. The component in the device is devoid of stability issues, since the solid precursors are instantly to be dissolved in a pharmaceutically-acceptable diluent, adjuvant, or carrier, and combined with an activator (e.g. acetic acid or its salts), optionally combined with a viscosity enhancer, optionally combined with a dye. The main product is generated by breaking or opening seals, barriers or ports between an optional number of compartments in a multi-compartment device to mix the contents in the compartments, followed by gently squeezing or shaking the device to generate the disinfectant solution, wherein the resulting solutions can be taken out through a cap, port or opening on the multi-compartment device. The resulting compositions are useful disinfectants for treating a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacterial and/or viral, fungal or parasitic pathogens, denoted microbials.
