Standard Practice for Production and Storage of Spores of <emph type="bdit">C. difficile</emph > for Use in Efficacy Evaluation of Antimicrobial Agents — 7 стр.
Значение и использование

5.1 This practice describes a procedure for preparing and storing a suspension of C. difficile spores that meets the following acceptance criteria: (1) spore titer of approximately 5.0×108 spores/mL, (2) spore purity of 95 %, and (3) a mean log10 reduction (LR) value >5.0 for 3 carriers exposed to 5000 ppm and a mean LR of <3.0 for 3 carriers exposed to 1500 ppm sodium hypochlorite. These acceptance criteria are necessary in order to use the spore suspension to evaluate the performance of antimicrobial formulations using Test Method E3218.
