- Abstract
- A quantitative carrier test for disinfectant testing was examined. Stainless steel penicylinders inoculated with bacteria were exposed to representative phenolic and quaternary ammonium compounds. Logarithmic reductions of the bacterial populations were obtained. The assay detected a dose-response relationship and gave reproducible results. The assay has the potential to replace the current sanctioned assay for disinfectant registration testing.
