This study compared the activity of AHP^® against a different stabilized hydrogen peroxide disinfectant in terms of efficacy against C. difficile spores on toilets in a tertiary care facility. The data indicate that the AHP^® product significantly outperformed the other hydrogen peroxide product, and offered at least some sporicidal activity (28% of samples were culture positive after the tests). The study highlights the safety benefits to using AHP^® in place of 5000 ppm bleach
