Abstract
Recovery results of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 treated with phenolics and quaternary ammonium compounds on Dey and Engley (D/E) neutralizing medium at various time intervals were compared by the use of two commonly used media. Two recovery processes were utilized. In one, the chemically treated organisms were plated directly onto an agar medium. In the other, the aliquot was first put in broth and then was plated with agar. By either process, the numbers and the time period for recovery of organism were greater on D/E medium.
