This dynamic shake flasktest was developed for routine quality control and screeningtests in order to overcome difficulties in using classicalantimicrobial test methods to evaluate substrate-bound antimi-crobials. These difficulties inclu

The number of viable organisms from the suspensionis determined and the percent reduction (or log10reduction) iscalculated by comparing retrievals from

Significance and Use4.1 Chemically bonded, antimicrobial agents are not free todiffuse into their environment under normal conditions of use.This test method ensures good contact between the bacteria andthe treated fiber, fabric, or other substrate, by constant agitationof th

United States14.2 The metabolic state of the challenge species can directlyaffect measurements of the effectiveness of particular antimi-crobial agents or concentrations of agents. The susceptibility ofthe species to particular biocides could be altered depending onits life s

17、tage (cycle). One-hour contact time in a buffer solutionallows for metabolic stasis in the population. This test methodstandardizes both the growth conditions of the challengespecies and substrate contact times to reduce the variabilityassociated with growth phase of the microorganism.4.3 Leaching o

18、f an antimicrobial is dependent upon the testconditions being utilized and the ultimate end use of theproduct. For example, water soluble antimicrobials will beprone to removal from the test surface using the methoddescribed in Section 13 but insoluble compounds will not. It isfor this reason that t

19、he use of the term leaching throughout thisdocument is limited to only the testing conditions describedherein. To determine if a compound is immobilized in allconditions or during the end use of the product additionaltesting may be required.4.4 This test method cannot determine if a compound isleach

Thistest method is only intended to determine efficacy as describedin 4.5 and subsequent portions of the method.4.5 This test method is intended to evaluate antimicrobialagents that are not removed from the surface by the aqueoustesting condition

21、s, as evaluated by Section 13. If an antimicro-bial agent that is shown to be removed from the surface bySection 13 is utilized in this test methodology, controls must beincluded such that appropriate neutralization steps are includ-ing during recovery and enumeration.4.6 The test is suitable for ev

The material must settle after shak

Specimen may also be selected on wei

41、ght basis, 60.1 g,at the discretion of the investigator. Care must be exercisedduring shaking not to break the flask or bottle. The untreatedspecimen of the solid must not absorb the solution. If appro-priate to the nature of the test specimen, it can be mounted asa seal for the test container so th

One treated piece of each specimen is required.One untreated piece of each specimen of identical compositionis highly recommended for each s

45、eries of specimen tested.12.2 Prepare one sterile 250 mLscrew-cap Erlenmeyer flaskfor each treated and untreated specimen, and one “inoculumonly” sample for the series being run. Add 50 6 0.5 mL ofworking dilution of bacterial inoculum prepared in 10.2 to eachflask.12.3 Determine bacterial concentra

46、tion of solution at the“0” time by performing serial dilutions and standard platecount techniques from the “inoculum only” sample flask12.4 Place the test and control specimen in their individualflasks. No series of test flasks should be large enough to requiremore than 5 min, post-contact, between

47、the first and last serialdilution.12.5 Place the series of flasks on the wrist-action shaker.Shake at maximum stroke for 1 h 6 5 min. Immediately serialdilute and plate each sample out in triplicate, as was done forthe “0” contact time subgroup (12.3).NOTE 3Residual bacterial retention in/on specime

However, the precision and biasstatement has been developed using a one hour contact time.There are no data to support a precision and bias statement forother contact times at this point. Use of alternate contact timesshall be included in the report, in addition to any othermodifications of temperature, method of dynamic contact, etc.12.6 Allow all the Petri dishes from both subsets to incubatefor at 35 6 2C for 24 h.12.7 Count the colonies
