cord-326254-8dlxsf57	Glasbey, T.	Flawed disinfectant recommendations during a pandemic	2020-06-15		.txt	text/plain	907	53	46	We are deeply concerned over the recommendations in the paper by Kampf [1] recently published in this journal as to what disinfectants are appropriate for use with respect to surface disinfection in the setting of the current Coronavirus pandemic. In that recent paper [1] , the author also suggests that the use of disinfectants containing benzalkonium chloride may be problematic as 'data obtained with benzalkonium chloride at reasonable contact times were conflicting. of Kampf are also diametrically opposed to the United States EPA recommendations for suitable disinfectant products given on their List N: 'Products with Emerging Viral Pathogens and Human Coronavirus claims for use against SARS-CoV-2' [5] . Here, any disinfectant recommended for use against SARS-CoV-2 is required to be included the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), and the manufacturer or product sponsor is required to hold suitable efficacy data against either the SARS-CoV-2 virus or recognised surrogate [8] .	./cache/cord-326254-8dlxsf57.txt	./txt/cord-326254-8dlxsf57.txt
