TULSA, Okla., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Enviroguard Technologies,
LLC, distributors of Staph Attack(TM), a new hard surface disinfectant
containing PURE Bioscience's (OTC Bulletin Board: PURE) patented silver
dihydrogen citrate, announced reports of outstanding success with the
surface disinfectant that kills resistant forms of Staph. Tulsa County Jail
reports that since the introduction of the product in August of last year,
the jail has completely eliminated Stap infections, including MRSA, a
resistant form of Staph.

The jail, with its 1700 cells and more than 1500 inmates, had historically
faced challenges with a resistant form of Staph known as
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). Prior to use of the new
disinfectant, the facility experienced, on average, 12 cases of Staph
infection every month.
According to Tulsa County Sheriff, Stanley Glanz, "We have been using Staph
Attack for five months and have eliminated the reoccurrence of Staph
infections in the facility. We are pleased to have created a healthier
environment and at the same time save money."
As part of its regular cleaning and maintenance program, the jail now uses
Staph Attack to disinfect booking areas, bathrooms, counter tops, cells and
mattresses. Using Staph Attack has provided time and cost savings: The 24
hour residual protection offered by the product, combined with the lowest
possible level of toxicity as defined by the EPA, means less frequent
applications and no need for protective wear such as gloves and masks.
Staph Attack is presently being used in 15 different correctional facilities
in 9 states, including Oklahoma, Kansas, Tennessee, Ohio, Minnesota,
Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas.
Staph Attack is the silver-based hard surface disinfectant created by PURE
Bioscience and distributed by Enviroguard Technologies specifically
for closed populations where resistant bacteria are becoming increasingly
problematic, such as hospitals, prisons and schools. Staph Attack carries
EPA-registered claims against Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), while
maintaining the Category IV lowest-toxicity EPA rating. It kills the
potentially deadly bacteria in just two minutes' time and does not require
rinsing.
How does it work? Silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC), is an
electrolytically generated source of stabilized ionic silver. In one of the
mechanisms of action, the bacteria views the molecule as a food source, and
once the organism consumes it, SDC destroys the bacteria by disabling
proteins and halting its metabolic and reproductive functions. SDC is
colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-caustic and formulates well with other
compounds. As a platform technology, SDC is distinguished from competitors
in the marketplace because of its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity and
the inability of bacteria to form a resistance to it.
