Antimicrobial testing methods confirm the activity of antimicrobial agents under certain conditions. Antimicrobial products (disinfectants, antiseptics) can damage and inhibit the development of microorganisms and are necessary to test the safety, quality, efficacy. Several microorganisms include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus hirae, and other bacterial strains upon request and tested according to BS EN and SNI EN standard methods.
