Disinfectants and antiseptics are chemical substances that kill or inhibit microbial growth. An experimental, longitudinal study was carried out where the antimicrobial spectrum of antiseptics, disinfectants and enzymatic detergents used in hospitals and clinical laboratories was analyzed. The objective was to evaluate the antimicrobial spectrum of antiseptic, disinfectants and enzymatic detergents for hospital use validated in the Central Laboratory of the city of Cochabamba in 2017. The samples were processed with multiple tube technique; therefore it was taken into account the presence or absence ofturbidity (+) (-); the intervals oftime (15,30 and 60 minutes), and the culture of the samples in Agar blood and MacConkey. The antimicrobial spectrum of antiseptics, disinfectants and enzymatic detergents for hospital use was evaluated. The development of microorganisms associated with health services was not observed (Gram-negative bacilli fermenters, non-fermenters, Gram-positive cocci and fungi) at 15, 30 and 60 minutes of incubation at 35 0 C compared to antiseptics and disinfectants. On the Other hand, enzymatic detergents do not have antimicrobial action against these microorganisms.
