Description
According to the Centers for Disease and Prevention Control, 70% ethyl alcohol is most effective in killing the tissue phase of Cryptococcus neoformans, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, and Histoplasma capsulatum and the culture phases of the latter three organisms aerosolized onto various surfaces. At higher concentrations (>70%) however, the effectivity of ethanol decreases because the proteins outside the cell wall coagulate, preventing the alcohol from entering the cell.
