Abstract
The bacteria that is the cause of strep throat is Streptococcus pyogenes and one cause of pneumonia is infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Wonder spray is a new product with an active ingredient of Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) that has been FDA cleared for use in wound healing. HOCL is used by the body’s white blood cells to kill all pathogens; bacteria, virus, yeast mold and fungus [1]. We performed a kill time study to determine if HOCL was effective in killing Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae. We discovered that HOCL kills these bacteria with a 6-log reduction in less than 15 seconds. Healthcare professionals may wish to consider using HOCL as an alternative to standard antibiotic regimens.
