1.	Infections 02/01/2012 - "The demonstrated in vitro efficacy of the peracetic acid-based product tested on the present study suggests its great potential to control I. multifiliis infections in commercial aquacultural systems." 04/01/2008 - "The comet assay indicated genotoxic activity at 2500 ppm. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of peracetic acid for sterilizing dental equipment, providing another alternative for the prevention of infections in clinics." 05/01/2013 - "Surgical infection in a videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy when using peracetic acid for the sterilization of instruments." 08/15/2006 - "Despite a wide use of disinfectants such as peracetic acid in health care environments, we certainly need better understanding of the effects of antimicrobial application on target pathogens to avert infection outbreaks. " 01/01/1989 - "[The preventive and therapeutic effect of peracetic acid on the development of surgical infection]."
2.	Flushing 04/01/2004 - "In this study, a between-patient disinfection procedure consisting of flushing DUWL with peracetic acid with use of water was efficacious in the control of both microbial contamination of dental treatment water and dental water line biofilms." 06/01/2020 - "We evaluated the effect of flushing with cold water and flushing with water containing peracetic acid (PAA) on the concentration of Staphylococcus aureus in teat cup liners. " 01/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: An inbetween patient disinfecting procedure consisting of flushing DUWL with TAED and persalt equivalent to 0.26% peracetic acid could be useful in routine dental practice for cross-contamination control." 01/01/2018 - "Disinfection of patient waste with peracetic acid for 15 minutes prior to flushing decreases the estimated median risk to 3.8×10-7 (90% CI: 4.1×10-9 to 8.6×10-5 ; mean 2.9×10-5 ). " 10/01/2017 - "These microbial contaminations were eradicated by shock disinfection with sodium hypochlorite and peracetic acid, followed by water flushing. "
3.	Cysts 01/01/2003 - "Biocidal activities of monochloramine and peracetic acid were studied on cysts of Naegleria lovaniensis. " 06/01/2015 - "The sensitivity of cysts of two strains of V. vermiformis to three disinfectants frequently used in hot water networks (chlorine, heat shock, peracetic acid (PAA) mixed with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)) was investigated. " 10/01/2020 - "The aim of this study was to screen well-known and commonly used antimicrobial products in various formulations and different concentrations for their efficacy against Acanthamoeba trophozoites and cysts, including aliphatic alcohols, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), peracetic acid (PAA), potassium peroxymonosulfate sulfate (PPMS) and octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT). " 08/01/2010 - "Several chemical formulations containing peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, or ortho-phthalaldehyde presented greater efficacy than glutaraldehyde, as did ethanol and sodium hypochlorite; however, some of these treatments required relatively long incubation times to achieve cyst inactivation. "
4.	Otomycosis 07/01/2023 - "The findings of this study confirm that the treatment of otomycosis with 1 per cent peracetic acid in an animal model is beneficial and may be a novel therapeutic treatment for otomycosis." 07/01/2023 - "The effects of peracetic acid solution on the treatment of otomycosis in an animal model: a new antifungal drug?" 07/01/2023 - "This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of 1 per cent and 0.01 per cent peracetic acid as an antifungal agent in animal otomycosis. " 07/01/2023 - "After otomycosis, the effect of 1 per cent or 0.01 per cent peracetic acid on otomycosis was evaluated by otomicroscopy and culture at 10 days post-treatment and compared with 2 per cent acetic acid as the control. "
5.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 01/01/1997 - "On day 12, the wounds treated by peroxyacetic acid (chi 2 = 52; df = 4, P < 0.001) were observed to be statistically significantly cleansed than the wounds treated conventionally.
