Abstract

The present invention consists of compositions containing cyclic oligosaccharides that function as an encapsulating and germinating agent for spore-forming microorganisms and can also act as an agent for interacting with components of the spore-forming structures of the microorganism. The composition assumes a supramolecular structure favourable to "host-guest" interaction, in association with different antiseptic active ingredients in an inclusion compound, and can be used in formulations containing other excipients, for different uses. More specifically, the present invention relates to compositions with sporicidal and sterilising antimicrobial activity, with cyclodextrins as the main agents in association with antiseptic active ingredients, in combined methods of action that are highly effective against spore-forming microorganisms, using low concentrations of encapsulated antiseptic active ingredients and having low toxicity.
