Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes the use of the MBEC Assayin evaluating the efficacy of a disinfectant against a Pseudomo-nas aeruginosa biofilm. A mature biofilm is established onpegs u

22、nder batch conditions with very low shear produced bygentle rotation of the device on an orbital shaker. At the end of24 h of growth, the pegs containing the biofilm are rinsed toremove planktonic cells and the peg lid is placed in a receiverplate. The wells in the receiver plate are filled accordin

23、g to anexperimental design that contains the appropriate sterility,growth, and neutralizer controls as well as the disinfectants.After a specified contact time, the peg lid is placed in a receiverplate containing neutralizer, and the entire device is placed ina sonicator to remove the biofilm and di

24、saggregate the clumps.Samples from each well are then diluted, plated and the viablecells enumerated. The log reduction in viable cells is calculatedby subtracting the mean log density for the treated biofilm fromthe mean log density determined for the untreated controls.5. Significance and Use5.1 V

25、egetative biofilm bacteria are phenotypically differentfrom suspended planktonic cells of the same genotype. Biofilmgrowth reactors are engineered to produce biofilms withspecific characteristics. Altering either the engineered systemor operating conditions will modify those characteristics. Thegoal

26、 in biofilm research and efficacy testing is to choose thegrowth reactor that generates the most relevant biofilm for theparticular study.5.2 The purpose of this test method is to direct a user in howto grow, treat, sample and analyze a Pseudomonas aeruginosabiofilm using the MBEC Assay. Microscopic

27、ally, the biofilm issheet-like with few architectural details as seen in Harrison etal (5). The MBECAssay was originally designed as a rapid andreproducible assay for evaluating biofilm susceptibility toantibiotics (2). The engineering design allows for the simulta-neous evaluation of multiple test

28、conditions, making it anefficient method for screening multiple disinfectants or mul-tiple concentrations of the same disinfectant. Additional effi-ciency is added by including the neutralizer controls within theassay device. The small well volume is advantageous fortesting expensive disinfectants,

29、or when only small volumes ofthe disinfectant are available.6.
