Hi,
Does anyone know of a good reference for heat resistance of microbes? What would really help would be any listing of decimal reduction times (D-values) at a given process temperature and z values. I'm just trying to make sure our autoclave kills everything it's supposed to for someone, so I've got a list of microbes with initial # of colony forming units from some bioburden studies. If anyone can point me towards a good reference, that would be a big help. Thanks.
