Effect of pulsed xenon ultraviolet room disinfection devices on microbial counts for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and aerobic bacterial colonies

American Journal of Infection Control, 2018
Inadequate environmental disinfection represents a serious risk for health care-associated infections. Technologic advancements in disinfection practices, including no-touch devices, offer significant promise to improve infection control. We evaluated one such device, portable pulsed xenon ultraviolet (PX-UV) units, on microbial burden during an ...

A semi-empirical precision control criterion for duplicate microbial colony counts

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 1996
A simple precision criterion (Z) of the logarithmic range (R) of duplicate microbiological determinations was developed. It is based on a freely selected relative technical uncertainty and the observed mean colony count. The model takes into account the different character of the technical and distribution uncertainty.

Effect of cleaning guidelines implementation on microbial colony count of laparoscopic instruments: A study in a public hospital in Iran

Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery, 2019
AbstractIntroductionSome countries have implemented reuse of laparoscopic instruments for cost‐effective purposes. An accurate cleaning as the first step of reprocessing would lead to the effective sterilization. The purpose was to evaluate the effect of cleaning guidelines implementation on microbial load of laparoscopic instruments which were used in

[Urinary microbial load evaluation: comparison of an agar-colony count method and a colorimetric method].

Quaderni Sclavo di diagnostica clinica e di laboratorio, 1986
The quantity of bacteria of 500 urocultures was analyzed in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology of the "Regina Elena" Institute of Rome (Italy). These evaluations were carried out both by the classic agar colony-count method (CC) and by a new colorimetric system (Dye test, Dt), recently introduced on the market.

[Microbial contamination of water by pipe and hose material. 1. Detection of colony count changes].

Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Serie B, Umwelthygiene, Krankenhaushygiene, Arbeitshygiene, praventive Medizin, 1988
Materials may produce a growth of microorganisms by contact with water. Pipes and hoses with a narrow diameter have not yet been tested on their influence on the microbial colonization of the water. A harmful change has been discussed especially in dental treatment units. Pipes and hoses were tested in their influence on the microbial growth for half a
