ABSTRACT:
A method of enhancing the efficacy of anti-microbial chemical compounds in an aqueous medium comprising adding an anionic chemical species to the medium. The anion acts as a competing electron receptor of the terminal cellular reduction reaction. This results in a weakening of the microorganism leaving it more vulnerable to effective action by the anti-microbial chemical.
