Antibacterial Cotton Treatments From New Orleans Show Promise
Researchers at the USDA Southern Regional Research Center in New Orleans developed two chemical cotton finishes to inhibit bacterial growth. Chlorinated cotton showed no growth of Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli, with similar protection after laundering.
