A biological indicator based on fluorimetric detection within 60 min of a Bacillus stearothermophilus spore-bound enzyme, alpha-d-glucosidase, has been developed. Results indicate that the enzyme survived slightly longer than spores observed after 24 h of incubation. The new system shows promise for evaluating flash sterilization cycles within 60 min compared with conventional 24-h systems.
一种基于荧光检测的生物指示剂已经被开发出来,该指示剂基于嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌孢子结合酶(α-d-葡萄糖苷酶),检测时间在 60 分钟以内。结果表明,与 24 小时孵育后观察到的孢子相比,这种酶的存活时间稍长。与传统的 24 小时系统相比,该新系统有望在 60 分钟内评估快速灭菌循环。
