For choosing a protocol of determination of bactericidal activity of antiseptic and disinfectant products, we have compared a method using an MS2 Abbott system and the classic methods: membrane filtration and dilution-method by transfer loops. The bactericidal-activity of 12 antiseptic solutions are determined. The results shown that there was no significative difference between the automated system and AFNOR specifications. The dilution-method by transfer loops gave higher bactericidal concentrations than the two other methods.
