  • (19) The germistatic activity, demonstrated by the MIC-test, is much higher than the germicidal effect (figs.
  • (20) The germicidal activity of the formulation against mastitis pathogens was measured on teat skin of live cows.

Pathogenic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to pathogeny; producting disease; as, a pathogenic organism; a pathogenic bacterium.

Example Sentences:
