TLDR
Aqueous formamide (20%) was found to exert a specific effect on the germicidal power of formic and acetic acids and also of ammonium hydroxide: bactericidal action against Bacr. aerogenes was increased six to twelvefold as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Aqueous formamide (20%) was found to exert a specific effect on the germicidal power of formic and acetic acids and also of ammonium hydroxide: bactericidal action against Bacr. aerogenes was increased six- to twelve-fold. Certain other disinfecting substances were affected by formamide to a much less extent, e.g. phenols, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, oxalic acid, lactic acid, and various esters, while o-chlorophenol and trichloracetic acid were actually diminished in germicidal activity. Possible explanations for the observed results are discussed.

The influence of organic solvents on the bactericidal action of the phenols. Part II

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of organic solvents on the bactericidal power of the phenols, alcohols, and other germicides was investigated, and it was shown that aliphatic compounds, e.g., tert.-buryl alcohol and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, were more effective against B. lactis aerogetics in 10% concentration and against Staphylococcus in 3% solution.

The influence of ethylene glycol and glycerol on the germicidal power of aliphatic and aromatic compounds

TL;DR: In this article it was shown that glycol and glycerol, whilst causing a diminution in the bactericidal action of phenols, actually enhance the germicidal power of certain aliphatic compounds.
