An antimicrobial-surface kinetic test which maximizes probability of cell-to-surface contact has been developed. The measurement of rate of kill by a nonleaching antimicrobial surface is based on the number of surviving bacterial cells at specific times of exposure to various amounts of total treated surface area of test substrate. This method gives information for direct comparison of rate of ...
