Panels coated with easy-on and subsequently cleaned with Presept solution showed no<br />

survival <strong>of</strong> <strong>bacterial</strong> species after 30 min and three days incubation.<br />

After 30 minutes incubation followed by cleaning, E.coli, L. monocytogenes, Staph.<br />

aureus and B. cereus all exhibited survival on both cleaned acrylic and emulsion<br />

coated panels (Fig 1). Salm. enterica, K. pneumoniae and Ps .aeruginosa only showed<br />

survival on acrylic coated surfaces. Results after 3 days incubation were identical,<br />

with the same survival patterns present.<br />
