Sterilization indicator for oxidative sterilants |
摘要 |
A sterilization indicator for oxidative sterilants, comprising a first compartment comprising spores of one or more microorganism species, wherein the spores have been pretreated with and comprises a compound comprising a transition metal ion that is reactive with an oxidative sterilant; a second compartment comprising a growth medium and adapted to combine contents of the first compartment with contents of the second compartment for incubation after the sterilization indicator has been exposed to an oxidative sterilant; and an agent disposed in the growth medium and selected to indicate viability of the spores after the sterilization indicator has been exposed to the oxidative sterilant. |

1. A sterilization indicator for an oxidative sterilants, comprising: a first compartment comprising spores of one or more microorganism, wherein the spores have been pretreated with and comprise a compound comprising a transition metal ion that is reactive with an oxidative sterilant, and wherein said pretreatment extends the time required to kill said spores comprising said compound comprising said reactive transition metal ion by said oxidative sterilant; a second compartment comprising a growth medium, and the indicator is adapted to combine contents of the first compartment with contents of the second compartment for incubation after the sterilization indicator has been exposed to the oxidative sterilant; and an agent disposed in the growth medium, the agent is selected to indicate viability of the spores after the sterilization indicator has been exposed to the oxidative sterilant. |
