Although official guidelines recommend a plate counting method for testing the susceptibility of mycobacteria to disinfectants, manufacturers usually prefer to employ the BACTEC procedure. Data showing that the BACTEC method overestimates the activity of a glutaraldehyde-based disinfectant against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in comparison with a conventional plate counting procedure are presented.
尽管官方指南推荐使用平板计数法来检测分枝杆菌对消毒剂的敏感性,但制造商通常更倾向于采用BACTEC方法。本文提供的数据表明,与传统平板计数法相比,BACTEC方法高估了基于戊二醛的消毒剂对结核分枝杆菌的活性。
