| Popis: | A dynamic method for comparison of the antimicrobial activities of gaseous agents is proposed. Specially designed apparatuses for multiple exposure and growth of organisms have been described and the validity of the method has been disussed. Three gases, ethylene oxide, methyl bromide, and formaldehyde, and five bacteria, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus licheniformis, and Staphylococcus aureus, have been tested and compared; typical data were presented to demonstrate the results. Application of this dynamic method for the investigation of the mechanism of action of gas sterilization has been suggested. |
