Objective:
To evaluate the surface of one sample for antimicrobial effectiveness against Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ATCC# 43300 as demonstrated by ASTM E 2180 test method.

Test Sample Identification:


1. Mondo Sport Impact

Test Procedure Summary:


The test organism was adjusted and diluted to obtain the starting inoculum concentration in an
agar slurry. The control was tested in triplicate at Time = 0 and Time = 24 hours. The test samples
were tested in triplicate at Time = 24 hours. Each replicate was placed in a sterile Petri dish,
inoculated and then incubated. At the appropriate time, the replicate was placed in sterile container
with neutralizing broth and shaken to facilitate the release of the agar slurry to the neutralizing
broth. Serial dilutions of the neutralizing broth containing the inoculum were plated. All plates
were incubated. After incubation, bacterial colonies were counted and recorded. The results are
found in the Test Results section. The results pertain only to the samples tested.

Test Results:
Log reduction and percent reduction is determined by comparing the treated sample after the
contract time to the untreated plastic control after the contact time using the geometric mean
(average of log values of each replicate) and antilog as indicated by the standard test method. The
average number of recovered bacteria and log reduction are reported as Log10 values.

Percent reduction is translated into log reduction by the following:


90% reduction = 1 log reduction; i.e. 1,000,000 (Log Value 6.00) reduced to 100,000 (Log Value 5.00)
99% reduction = 2 log reduction; i.e. 1,000,000 (Log Value 6.00) reduced to 10,000 (Log Value 4.00)
99.9% reduction = 3 log reduction; i.e. 1,000,000 (Log Value 6.00) reduced to 1,000 (Log Value 3.00)
99.99% reduction = 4 log reduction; i.e. 1,000,000 (Log Value 6.00) reduced to 100 (Log Value 2.00)
99.999% reduction = 5 log reduction; i.e. 1,000,000 (Log Value 6.00) reduced to 10 (Log Value 1.00)

The detection limit for this test is log10 value 1.00 due to the 10x dilution that occurs with the
addition of the neutralizing broth. Results reported as <1.00 means there were no test organisms
found on the lowest dilution plate.
