Summary of Practice44.1 A towelette impregnated or pre-saturated with a test substance is used to treat a carrier which has been inoculated with atest organis
14、m after an aliquot of a test organism has been inoculated, evenly distributed, distributed to an inoculation area ofapproximately one square inch (approximately 625 mm), and dried onto the carrier. The carrier is wiped using the pre-saturatedor impregnated towelette simulating the application of the
15、 test substance and then held for a pre-determined contact time. Afterthe specified contact time, the test substance remaining on the carrier is neutralized and the carrier is subcultured to recoversurviving test organism. The used towelette, after the contact time, is also cultured for surviving te
16、st organism.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method practice may be used to determine if a pre-saturated or impregnated towelette demonstrates antimicrobialeffectiveness as a disinfectant on hard surfaces. This practice provides survivor results in the form of a qualitative endpoint (growthposit
17、ive versus growth negative). The results generated by following this practice do not provide for specific quantitativereductions.6.
