Abstract

The preservative efficacy of both ‘Betnovate’ and ‘Synalar’ creams diluted 1:1 with ‘Unguentum Merck’ was investigated. Each formulation was challenged with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at an initial inoculum level of approximately 1 × 106 viable organisms per gram of cream. All formulations tested were found to be effectively preserved against the organisms used and no viable bacteria were detected 7 days after inoculation.
