13 Danny Lattin A team of University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences researchers, led by Danny Lattin, discovered that cetylpyridinium chloride is a highly effective biocide against salmonella on chicken.
An increase in the amount of Cetylpyridinium Chloride, which is an anti-microbial agent, in NeutraGard Advanced Fluoride Gel, Mixed Berry, Cinnamon and Wintergreen formulations was not conducted under a formal change control mechanism.
