On Methods Used and Results Obtained in Making Germicidal-Efficiency Tests of a Disinfectant: For Use in Railway Sanitation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Assess how a disinfectant performs in real-world rail sanitation through detailed germicidal tests.
This book presents a sequence of careful experiments to determine how nuclear germicides work in practice, including how different methods and exposures affect bacteria and spores. The narration covers test setup, results, and the reasoning behind choosing the most reliable testing approaches.
Readers will see how scientists compare inhibitors, dilution methods, and exposure times to judge a disinfectant’s effectiveness. The work records multiple controlled trials, evidence interpretation, and the progression from preliminary methods to practical testing standards.
- How inhibition agents and dilution influence germicidal results
- Different organisms tested, from typhoid bacteria to cholera spirilla and anthrax spores
- Exposures, dilutions, and the interpretation of plate and broth results
Ideal for students of microbiology, laboratory professionals, and readers curious about historical disinfectant testing processes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the germicidal efficiency of a disinfectant intended for railway sanitation, testing its efficacy against various microbes. Amidst concerns over the arrival of Asiatic cholera in the US, the Pennsylvania Railroad sought to ensure the safety of their services and passengers. The author, a renowned expert in bacteriology, was tasked with conducting rigorous tests to determine the disinfectant's ability to destroy disease-causing germs. Through innovative methods and meticulous experimentation, the author established the disinfectant's remarkable effectiveness against a range of bacteria, including those responsible for typhoid fever, diphtheria, and cholera, as well as the resilient spores of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus anthracis. This book not only provides valuable insights into disinfection practices but also highlights the crucial role of scientific research in safeguarding public health, particularly during periods of heightened concern over infectious diseases. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332243648_0
