H olland , K.T. & D avis , W. 1985. A note on an in vitro test system to compare the bactericidal properties of wound dressing. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 59 , 61–63. An in vitro method of comparing the antimicrobial properties of dressings used on human skin is described and has been tested with two samples of tulle gras. The method has advantages over agar diffusion methods by providing flexibility of test conditions and kinetic data for analysis.
