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.
