Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes the use of the single tubemethod to evaluate the efficacy of a liquid disinfectant againsta Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm on a hard non

16、poroussurface grown in the CDC Biofilm Reactor. The test methodconsists of adding a disinfectant (treated) or a control buffer(untreated) to individual coupons held in 50-mL conical tubes.Three coupons are treated with disinfectant and three couponsreceive buffered dilution water. Neutralizer is add

17、ed to thetubes after the appropriate contact time. A combination ofvortexing and sonication are used to remove the biofilm fromthe coupon and disaggregate the clumps. The cell suspension isserially diluted and plated on agar medium. Viable plate countsfrom treated and untreated control coupons are u

18、sed to calcu-late the log10reduction of viable cells.5. Significance and Use5.1 Vegetative biofilm bacteria are phenotypically differentfrom suspended planktonic cells of the same genotype. Biofilmgrowth reactors are engineered to produce biofilms withspecific characteristics (2). Altering either th

19、e engineeredsystem or operating conditions will modify those characteris-tics as well as the physicochemical environment. The goal inbiofilm research and efficacy testing is to choose the growthreactor and operating conditions that generate the most relevantbiofilm for the particular study.5.2 The t

20、est method was developed using Pseudomonasaeruginosa ATCC 15442 biofilm grown on borosilicate glasscoupons in the CDC Biofilm Reactor and liquid disinfectants.Efficacy data developed using other bacteria, different shear,different coupons, or other standardized biofilm reactor sys-tems, and/or other

21、 forms of disinfectants may result in differentlog10reduction (LR) values and repeatability and reproducibil-ity standard deviations.5.3 The efficacy test was designed to determine the log10reduction in bacteria after exposure to a disinfectant in a closedsystem.5.4 The test method was developed usi

22、ng 50-mL conicaltubes. The conical geometry allows for disinfectant exposure tobiofilm on all surfaces of the coupon.5.5 Each efficacy test includes a single contact time andtemperature for three untreated control coupons (exposed tobuffered dilution water) and three treated coupons (perdisinfectant

32、e Disinfectant:9.3.1 Prepare disinfectant according to manufacturersspecifications in sterile volumetric glassware. Ensure that thedisinfectant is adequately mixed. Use within3hofpreparationor as specified in the manufacturers instructions.9.3.2 Place prepared disinfectant in water bath equilibrated

33、to 20 6 1C for 10 to 15 min.9.4 Remove Coupons from the CDC Biofilm Reactor:9.4.1 Prepare sampling materials: treatment tubes, rinsetubes, small flame-sterilized Allen wrench, and serologicalpipettes.9.4.2 Aseptically remove a randomly selected rod contain-ing coupons with biofilm from the CDC Biofi

34、lm Reactor bypulling it straight up firmly.9.4.3 Rinse the coupons to remove planktonic cells. Orientthe rod in a vertical position directly over a 50-mL conicalcentrifuge tube that contains 30-mL sterile buffered water.Immerse the rod with a continuous motion into the bufferedwater with minimal to

35、no splashing, then immediately remove.A new 50-mL conical tube containing 30-mL sterile bufferedwater is used for each rod.9.4.4 Hold the rod with one of the randomly selectedcoupons centered over an empty, sterile 50-mL conical tube.Loosen the set screw and allow the coupon to drop directly tothe b

36、ottom of the tube. If the coupon does not freely drop, pressdirectly in the center of the coupon with the Allen wrench usedto loosen the set screw.NOTE 1The use of 50-mL conical tubes allows for uniform disinfec-tant contact around the entire coupon surface.9.4.5 Repeat coupon removal twice more for

37、 a total of threetubes each containing a coupon.NOTE 2All biofilm on the coupon must be exposed to disinfectant. Donot lose any biofilm from the coupon by allowing it to touch the top or theinner sides of the 50-mL conical tube as it falls to the bottom of the tube.To ensure that the maximum biofilm

38、 surface area is in contact with thedisinfectant, the coupon should be at an angle in the bottom of the tube.Discard any tubes where the coupon touched the inner side of the tubeand/or held coupons that were not angled and replace them with new tubesand coupons.9.5 Conduct Effcacy Evaluation:9.5.1 S

39、lowly pipette 4 mL previously prepared and equili-brated disinfectant (treatment) or equilibrated buffered dilutionwater (untreated control) into the tubes containing the coupons,being careful to completely cover the coupon. Note and recordthe time.NOTE 3The order of application of disinfectant or b

40、uffered dilutionwater is randomly selected.NOTE 4For a 10-min contact time, a 1-min interval between couponsis recommended.9.5.2 Tap each tube to release any air bubbles trapped belowthe coupon. Do not shake the tubes.9.5.3 Incubate the tubes at 20 6 1C for the specifiedcontact time.9.5.4 At the end

41、 of the contact time, add appropriate volumeof neutralizer to each tube. Replace the cap and mix thoroughlyby vigorously shaking the tube several times.Allow the couponto remain in the neutralized disinfectant at room temperatureuntil step 9.6.NOTE 5It is recommended that a neutralization study be c

42、onductedprior to running the efficacy test (Test Method E1054) to determine theappropriate neutralizer formulation, concentration, volume, and neutral-ization time. For each efficacy test, the concentration, volume, andneutralization time should be the same for the control and treated coupons.Thirty

43、-six (36) mL of neutralizer was used in the collaborative study.9.5.5 Obtain a set of three coupons for the remainingtreatment(s) or control(s) as described in steps 9.4.2 through9.4.5.9.5.6 Repeat steps 9.5.1 through 9.5.4 with randomly se-lected treatment(s) or control(s).FIG. 1 Single Tube Method
