This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of Biosecur() citrus extract surface cleaner against Vibrio vulnificus using plate count method. Two concentrations, 0.5% and 2% of Biosecur() surface cleaner were plated on Vibrio vulnificus Agar (VVA) and tested for reduction of Vibrio vulnificus. In order to investigate the lasting residual activity of Biosecur(), antibacterial activity tests were also performed at time intervals up to 2.5 h after Biosecur() was plated on VVA. Biosecur() showed 6-log reduction of Vibrio vulnificus at 2%, and 3-log reduction of Vibrio vulnificus at 0.5%. The antibacterial activity of 2% Biosecur() against Vibrio vulnificus was shown to be equivalent to that of tetracycline. The residual activity of 2% Biosecur() was shown to maintain for at least 2.5 h after application. This study confirmed the high activity and long lasting residual effect of a safe, non-toxic organic food grade surface cleaner.
