Methods Employed for the Evolution of Germicides | Organisms | Microbiology
The method generally employed for the evaluation of germicides is to rate them according to their phenol coefficients. In addition to this, a number of newer methods have been proposed, which are designed to measure the toxicity of germicides for tissue as well as for the test bacteria. 1. Phenol-Coefficient Method: The phenol-coefficient test was first proposed by Rideal and [...]
