Title
Avian Psittacosis
Body
The organism is susceptible to heat (it may be destroyed in <5 min at 56°C) and most disinfectants (eg, 1:1,000 quaternary ammonium chloride, 1:100 bleach solution, 70% alcohol, etc) but is resistant to acid and alkali. It may persist for months in organic matter such as litter and nest material, but thorough cleaning before disinfection is necessary.
If c pneumoniae is the human chlamydia psittaci, and if avian psittacosis can be destroyed by 70% alcohol, does that mean that 151vodka might kill c pneumonia? I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Jean, they are two different…
Jean, they are two different chlamydiae, but as for the vodka, it might kill the person taking it as well!
Completed Stratton/Wheldon regime for aggressive secondary progressive MS in June 2007, after four years, three of which intermittent. Still improving bit by bit and no relapses since finishing treatment.
