The fungicidal action of peracetic acid was determined by a modified phenol coefficient method and by the dilution method, using Trichophyton gypseum, Microsporum gypseum and Candida albicans as test organisms. The phenol coefficient method showed that peracetic acid is lethal for C. albicans, the most resistant test organism, at 0.007 %. By the dilution method 0.07% was lethal for C. albicans, 0.06% for M. gypseum and 0.05% for T. mentagrophytes.
