(1) Wool blanketing, wool gabardine, and cotton sheeting materials were impregnated with the first of the above virucidal compounds, and the persistence of vaccinia virus on these fabrics was compared with the persistence of the agent on nonimpregnated fabrics of the same type held at 25 C in 35 and 78% relative humidity.
(2) The persistence of Salmonella typhimurium (V-31) on wool blanket, wool gabardine, cotton sheeting, cotton knit jersey, cotton terry cloth, and cotton wash-and-wear fabrics was studied.
(3) Viable bacterial populations persisted for 24 weeks at relatively high population densities on swatches of wool gabardine, cotton sheeting, cotton knit jersey, and cotton terry cloth exposed by direct contact and held in a humidity of 35%.
(4) The length of time that poliovirus could be recovered from wool gabardine and blanket, and from cotton sheeting, terry cloth, and knit jersey fabrics was determined under conditions of controlled temperature and humidity (25 C in 35 and 78% relative humidities).
(5) This organism retained its virulence for Swiss mice after being recovered from wool gabardine swatches held 8 weeks in humidities of 35 or 78% and from cotton terry cloth swatches held 6 weeks in the same humidities.
(6) Wool gabardine material was exposed to high concentrations of herpes simplex, vaccinia, parainfluenza, or polio viruses and was processed through the sterilizer.
(7) The persistence of vaccinia virus on wool (blanket and gabardine) and cotton (sheeting, terry cloth, and knit jersey) fabrics was studied.
(8) This organism retained its virulence for Swiss mice after being recovered from wool gabardine swatches held 4 weeks in 35% relative humidity and 6 weeks in 78% relative humidity.
(9) Ihave occasionally been a bit troubled by those old Pathé newsreel clips of British sporting events in which, at climactic moments, the men in the crowd chuck their hats – flat caps and trilbys – in the air, and turn to clap one another on worsted and gabardined backs.
(10) She was a widow from Liverpool, consistently dressed in a grey gabardine suit and flowered blouse.
(11) The persistence of Staphylococcus aureus (Smith) on wool blanket, wool gabardine, cotton sheeting, cotton knit jersey, cotton terry cloth, and cotton wash-and-wear fabrics was studied.
