Biodeterioration and Disinfectants

1988
The role of environmental sites and surfaces and skin surfaces (mainly the hands) in transfer of infection has long been recognised. Under normal circumstances, the healthy adult in the community is relatively resistant to infection but in the hospital environment, where resistance may be compromised, or in various situations where processing of foods,

Biodeterioration of Fuels

1991
The biodeterioration of hydrocarbons only occurs when water is present, the active deteriogens growing either at the oil-water interface or in the aqueous phase. It is primarily trophic biodeterioration in which the hydrocarbon is used as a carbon and energy source and as such is synonymous with biodegradation.

Biodeterioration of textiles

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2004
Abstract Textiles, particularly those composed of natural organic fibres such as cotton, linen, wool, etc., are readily attacked by microorganisms. Most synthetic fabrics are not readily subject to extensive biodeterioration, but some processing and finishing agents are susceptible to microbial spoilage.
