    Abstract: A two-part antimicrobial composition comprising at least one chlorine dioxide generating component comprising at least one metal chlorite and at least one acid-forming compound in a solid carrier, and at least one liquid aqueous component comprising at least one antimicrobial fatty acid having from about 6 to about 12 carbon atoms, the antimicrobial fatty acid having a pKa not less than that of the acid forming compound, wherein components, upon mixing, form a composition having a pH in the range of about 5 to about 8 is disclosed. This antimicrobial composition is useful for treating bovine mastitis as it has a longer lasting efficacy against microbes, and improved antimicrobial effectiveness in that the chlorine dioxide acts immediately to kill microorganisms that cause mastitis, while the fatty acid remains antimicrobially active over a longer period against the mastitis causing microorganisms.
