Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Contact-Mediated Microbial Transference

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This test method utilizes filter paper as a medium for evaluating touch-transfer of bacteria to material surfaces. Sample surfaces are exposed to filter papers saturated with a Staphylococcus aureus suspension, followed by recovery of the bacteria from the surface with Replicate Organism Detection and Counting (RODAC) plates. This test method reports the log₁₀ reduction of bacterial transfer on an intended test surface compared to a control surface. The test and control surfaces can differ by texture, coating, treatment, or any other desired variables, as long as they are the same material.
