bacterial numbers on penicylinders used in disinfectant testing: use of 24 hour adjusted broth cultures.the current aoac use-dilution methods of disinfectant efficacy testing require the use of 48-54 h unadjusted broth cultures of salmonella choleraesuis, staphylococcus aureus, and pseudomonas aeruginosa for the inoculation of stainless steel penicylinders. the use of unadjusted broth cultures contributes to noncomparable numbers of organisms on penicylinders among the test strains due to relative efficacy of bacterial attachment to penicylinders and to bacterial numbers in broth. to achieve compa ...19883129396
comparison of the invasion strategies used by salmonella cholerae-suis, shigella flexneri and yersinia enterocolitica to enter cultured animal cells: endosome acidification is not required for bacterial invasion or intracellular replication.strains of escherichia, salmonella, shigella and yersinia actively enter eukaryotic cells. several techniques were used to compare and contrast the invasion mechanisms of salmonella cholerae-suis, yersinia enterocolitica and shigella flexneri. three animal cell lines (cho, hep-2 and mdck) were examined for susceptibility to bacterial entry by these strains. levels of intracellular bacteria varied widely between cell lines, but cho cells were the most susceptible to bacterial invasion, hep-2 inva ...19883147700
quantitative evaluation of bacteria washed from stainless steel penicylinders during aoac use-dilution method.stainless steel penicylinders inoculated separately with test bacteria (salmonella choleraesuis, pseudomonas aeruginosa, or staphylococcus aureus) are used in the aoac use-dilution method (udm) for disinfectant efficacy testing. numbers of bacteria remaining on penicylinders were quantitatively assessed to determine if cells are washed from the penicylinders after a 10 min exposure to phosphate buffer dilution water (pbdw). inoculated penicylinders were also examined by scanning electron microsc ...19883148609
disinfectant testing using a modified use-dilution method: collaborative study.an initial collaborative study of the aoac use-dilution method (udm), used for bactericidal disinfectant efficacy testing, demonstrated extreme variability of test results among the 18 laboratories testing identical hospital disinfectants. in an effort to improve the method, 32 changes were made by the udm task force. these changes represented improvements in quality assurance practices and elimination of method variability; however, the basic framework of the method was retained. a second colla ...19883149273
