PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a degerming agent (antibacterial agent, antifungal agent, and antiviral agent) widely effective against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE), gram-negative bacterium such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa having multiple resistance and other microorganisms, and a degerming product. SOLUTION: The degerming agent comprises an antimicrobial pigment agent and a metal. An article is obtained by treatment with the degerming agent. Gentian violet, malachite green, brilliant blue, ethacridine and an azo pigment are preferable as the antimicrobial pigment agent. Magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, cobalt, nickel, tin, chromium, lead, copper, silver, platinum, a salt of them and a complex of them are preferable as the metal. The degerming agent exhibits synergistic sterilization effect on both gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria by using the antimicrobial pigment agent and the metal. An article considered to have contamination is dyed to prevent contamination. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
