A method has been presented for evaluating the effectiveness of fabrics treated with antimicrobial agents to resist growth of contaminating organisms. The method consists of direct inoculation of the fabric with suitable test organisms and the subsequent enumeration of growing colonies which develop when the fabric is implanted in a nutrient medium. The method is sensitive, versatile, easy to perform, highly reproducible, and realistically evaluates the practical effectiveness of residual antimicrobial agents on fabrics. Data are given which demonstrate the sensitivity of the method to small differences in antimicrobial concentrations. The versatility of the method is shown by the variety of antimicrobial agents and organisms which have been utilized. Both bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity can be evaluated.
已提出一种评估经抗菌剂处理的织物抵抗污染生物生长有效性的方法。该方法包括用合适的测试生物直接接种织物，以及随后对当织物植入营养培养基中时生长的菌落进行计数。该方法灵敏、通用、易于操作、高度可重复，并且能实际评估织物上残留抗菌剂的实际有效性。给出的数据表明了该方法对抗菌剂浓度微小差异的敏感性。已使用的多种抗菌剂和生物展示了该方法的通用性。抑菌和杀菌活性均可评估。
