Disinfectant Topax 66 (it is produced by Ecolab, s.r.o., Bratislava) was tested under laboratory conditions and in fish processing facilities. Under laboratory conditions, B. cereus was devitalised after disinfection with 0.1 % solution and 20 min exposure time. When using the same concentration of the disinfectant, E. coli and S. aureus were devitalised after 5 min exposure time. Good disinfectant effect was recorded in the fish industry, however, surfaces of ancillary equipment were positive for E. coli. Sanitation of the facilities was reflected positively in aerial microbial findings as the samples taken were negative for E. coli.
