Variations in the Resistance of Biological Indicators Used to Assess Sterilization

Sometimes, unexplained results occur when using biological indicators. This could be attributable to a failure of the sterilization process or, perhaps, due to a mishandling of the biological indicator. Other reasons could be traced to issues of resistance and variations with the biological indicator itself.

In relation to this, Tim Sandle has written a paper which discusses the “phenomenon of resistance” for the Journal of Validation Technology.

The paper can be found here.
