Key words: inactivation, Escherichia coli, CO2, tetrafluoroethane, ethanol

The kinetics of E. coli bacteria inactivation is studied in compressed carbon dioxide and tetrafluoroethane with and without ethanol addition. The possibility of decreasing the number of survived cells by 7 orders of magnitude when up to 5% vol. of ethanol is added to the main fluid is demonstrated.
