A carrier method for the assessment of the effectiveness of disinfectants against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract

A method for testing the effect of disinfectants against Mycobacterium tuberculosis was developed using glass slide carriers contaminated with Myco. tuberculosis from spleens of guinea-pigs. The method was found to be useful although a greater number of colony forming units, permitting calculation of a reduction factor in the range of 10(5), is desirable. In tests with various disinfectants, alcohols were the most effective agents against Myco. tuberculosis.
