After contact with disinfectant and neutralizing agents, sterile broth was refilled into each well followed by incubation <strong>of</strong> the plates at 22°C and<br />

37°C for an additional 24 hours. The broth was then placed into new microtitre plate to assess a change turbidity <strong>of</strong> the broth. An increase in<br />

turbidity indicated that cells remained viable after contact with the disinfectant agents. As displayed in Table 5.8 cells remained viable after<br />

treatment with all disinfectants. This was true for treatment <strong>of</strong> the 48 hour and 168 hour bi<strong>of</strong>ilm formed at both 22° and 37°C.<br />
