Systematic study on the evaluation method of surface antibacterial activity based on the fluorescent observation of bacterial growth by Noriko Nakamura, Tatsuki Yamagishi, Wataru Nagata, Yuki Akahane, Hyemin Seo, Ayaka Otsuka, Daiki Hishikawa, Risa Yoshimoto, Nobuhiro Miyamae, Seiichi Ohta

“…The standard assessment procedure for antibacterial surfaces involves bacterial culture on a film-covered substrate followed by transfer onto agar for colony counting (ISO22196:2011). However, this assessment lacks temporal and spatial information regarding bacterial growth, resulting in an incomplete and inaccurate evaluation of the antibacterial activity of the surface. …”
