Kiefernkernholz und Glasoberflächen: eine einfache Methode zur Prüfung von Bakterienbefall@@@Pine heartwood and glass surfaces: easy method to test the fate of bacterial contamination
European Journal of Wood and Wood Products(2010)
Abstract
The survival of two bacteria, Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes was observed on pine heartwood and glass surfaces by using a simple test method. The development of the number of bacterial cells was evaluated by titration after vortexing the samples in BHI broth and culturing the resulting broth on agar plates. The bacterial count decreased clearly faster on pine heartwood than on glass surfaces. This result was confirmed by studying the wooden samples also one day after to exclude possible adherence of the bacterial cells on the porous surface. This study confirms the results of several other studies that suggest wood to have antibacterial properties.
