Testing for spores in laundry water

摘要

One of the most common microbiological contaminations in commercial laundries are bacteria types which turn into permanent forms, so-called spores, under life-threatening conditions. These endospores formed by the bacteria are extremely resistant, for example, to hot and cold temperatures, or to drying out. This high chemical and thermal resistance means that spores are not safely inactivated or killed during disinfecting washing processes.
