- Details of antibacterial test
- Species of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus FO-12732
- Antibacterial test: Conformed to test method of JTETC (with detergent conformed to JAFET)
- Test method: Administrate bacterial broth to sterile sample, put it in an air-tight container, incubate at 37°C for 24 hours, and determine the number of active bacteria. Then evaluate the number of bacteria by bacteriostatic activity ratio to the number of bacteria on untreated cloth (conformed to integrated test method of JTETC)
