Log reduction of bacterial counts at different time points as compared to the initial inoculate
| Log reduction treatment vs T = 0 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time (h) | S. aureus | S. epidermidis | MRSA | E. coli | P. aeruginosa | S. marcescens |
| 3 | 3.9 | 5.5 | 4.1 | >5.4 | 5.8 | 5.1 |
| 6 | 5.4 | >5.5 | >5.6 | >5.4 | >5.8 | >5.1 |
| 12 | >5.5 | >5.5 | >5.6 | >5.4 | >5.8 | >5.1 |
| 24 | >5.5 | >5.5 | >5.6 | >5.4 | >5.8 | >5.1 |
When 0 CFU were recovered from the treatment group (complete kill), Log10 (CFU/mL) <1.0 was used to calculate the log reduction.
