There is no necessity in other disinfecting agents purchasing;

- There couldn’t be a single case of neutral anolyte application mentioned in which there was any allergic reaction observed with the tuberculous institutions employees;
- Along with instructions included in procedural recommendations, there were spittoons containing sputum and mediums characterised by positive inoculation of tuberculous microbacteria poured with neutral anolyte in the ratio of 1 : 2 with respect to pathological material;
- furthermore, there has been pouring of blood and sputum shed on the floor surface performed;
- Anolyte application as the main disinfecting agent is economically sound, taking into consideration that common table salt cost is equal to 2,0 rub./kg versus the cost of chloramine equal to 54 rub./kg or the cost of new-generation disinfectants making 60-84 rub./kg.
