TABLE 2.

Log reduction of bacterial counts at different time points as compared to control samples

Log reduction treatment vs control
Time (h) S. aureus S. epidermidis MRSA E. coli P. aeruginosa S. marcescens
3 3.3 4.5 3.1 >2.1 3.3 4.1
6 6.0 >7.6 >4.8 >0.7 >4.3 >4.9
12 >7.9 >8.1 >7.8 >0.4 >6.8 >6.2
24 >8.3 >8.5 >8.5 >2.0 >7.5 >8.2

When 0 CFU were recovered from the treatment group (complete kill), Log10 (CFU/mL) < 1.0 was used to calculate the log reduction.
