  The hides and skins are contaminated by bacteria that are found in the atmosphere, soil, water, dung, and slaughterhouses. Prior investigations have discovered antibiotic-resistant gam-positive and gram-negative bacteria in both the liquids used for soaking and the hides that were soaked, despite the use of several antimicrobial agents during the soaking process. Optimal concentration of the antimicrobial agent is essential to ensure the soaking process is carried out efficiently and effectively. Hence, it is feasible to control bacterial contamination on the skin. This study aimed to investigate the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of antimicrobial agents containing three different chemical materials: Thiocyanomethylthiobenzothiazole, potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate, and benzyloxymethanol. Each of these active ingredients was tested separately at different concentrations ag.. Read More»
