Survivor curves were determined for Serratia marcescens, Sarcina lutea, Pasteurella tularensis, and P. pestis deposited from the airborne state onto metallic surfaces and subsequently stored at various humidities and temperatures. Cells of all species tested remained alive longest in a dry atmosphere, except that cells of S. marcescens survived best in a saturated atmosphere. Survival decreased most rapidly at the intermediate humidity level for three of the test organisms, yet P. tularensis died most rapidly in a saturated atmosphere. An increase in temperature decreased survival of P. pestis and P. tularensis.
测定了粘质沙雷氏菌、藤黄八叠球菌、土拉弗朗西斯菌和鼠疫杆菌从空气状态沉积到金属表面并随后在不同湿度和温度下储存后的存活曲线。除了粘质沙雷氏菌的细胞在饱和大气中存活最佳外，所有测试物种的细胞在干燥大气中存活时间最长。对于三种测试生物体，在中等湿度水平下存活率下降最快，然而土拉弗朗西斯菌在饱和大气中死亡最快。温度升高会降低鼠疫杆菌和土拉弗朗西斯菌的存活率。
