Joseph Lister subsequently publishes his results in The Lancet in a series of five articles, running from March through July 1867, entitled: "On a new method of treating compound fracture, abscess, etc.: with observation on the conditions of suppuration".

Later, on August 9, 1867, he reads a paper before the British Medical Association in Dublin, on the Antiseptic Principle of the Practice of Surgery, which is reprinted in The British Medical Journal.

He instructs surgeons under his responsibility to wear clean gloves and wash their hands before and after operations with five percent carbolic acid solutions.

Instruments are also washed in the same solution and assistants spray the solution in the operating theater.

One of his additional suggestions is to stop using porous natural materials in manufacturing the handles of medical instruments.
