Popis: Organ transplantations have an increasing medical relevance. It is becoming a regular procedure with an increase in individuals waiting for organs.The increase in the number of discarded organs is mostly due to the donor bacterial and/or viral infection. In this article, we are demonstrating the feasibility of reduction of the bacterial load in kidney model by using Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) as a germicidal agent in circulating liquids. Using Staphylococcus aureus as a bacteria model, we were able to demonstrate that in less than 30 min of liquid circulation and associated to irradiation, the bacterial load of the perfusate Custodiol® HTK, histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (solution with 5 log CFU mL
