Evaluation of epidemiological cut-off values indicates that biocide resistant subpopulations are uncommon in natural isolates of clinically-relevant microorganisms.
To date there are no clear criteria to determine whether a microbe is susceptible to biocides or not.As a starting point for distinguishing between wild-type and resistant organisms, we set out Dairy to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) distributions for four common biocides; triclosan
