| Resumo: |
Prior to selecting disinfectant for low, intermediate and high (sterilizing) levels, the decimal reduction time, D-value, for the most common or persistent bacteria identified on a medical device or at a health care facility should be determined. The D-value was determined by inoculating 100 mL of disinfecting solution with 1 mL of a bacterial suspension. At regular intervals, 1 mL aliquots of this mixture were transferred to 8 mL of growth media containing a neutralizing agent, and incubated at optimal conditions for the microorganism. B. stearothermophilus and E. coli were the most resistant bacteria for the disinfecting and sterilizing procedures.
