dc.description.abstract	The ever-rising numbers of multidrug resistant, MDR bacteria in healthcare facilities globally has correspondingly led to a rapid escalation in the use of disinfectants, antiseptics or biocides which reached unprecedented levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has also elicited grave apprehension about the development of resistance to disinfectants. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of some regularly used disinfectants in the study population. Five brands of disinfectants were obtained and diluted in sterile 300 ppm calcium carbonatenutrient broth to their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations, MICs to which were exposed broth cultures of MDR organisms for 2 min before sampling onto nutrient agar plates in replicates. Further samples were taken
