BioCote is not a replacement for cleaning but a 24hour second line of defence for regular hygiene practices. What has BioCote been tested against?

Examples of bacteria tested against include Aspergillus niger (black mould), Streptococcus faecalis, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Escherichia coli 0157 and Listeria monocytogenes What about potential resistance?
