Specimen Collection and Handling:

For testing disinfectants, prepare two sets of test tubes, one containing 9 ml Dey-Engley Neutralizing Broth (MU1062) and other with 9 ml Dey-Engley Neutralizing Broth Base. Add 1 ml of disinfectant under test. Mix well and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Inoculate 0.1 ml of 1:100,000 dilution of overnight broth cultures and incubate at 30-35°C for 48 hours Growth in Neutralizing Broth and no growth in Neutralizing Broth Base indicates neutralization of disinfectant. To check bactericidal activity, both broth tubes are inoculated on D/E Neutralizing Agar (M186). Positive growth from negative tubes of Neutralizing Broth Base indicates bacteriostatic substance while negative growth indicates a bactericidal disinfectant. All positive tubes should show growth on Dey-Engley Neutralizing Agar. The control disinfectants used in test procedure are 2% chlorine, 2%formaldehyde, 1% glutaraldehyde, 2% iodine, 2% phenol, 1/750 quaternary ammonium compounds, 1/1000 mercurials etc. After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
