ABSTRACT:
A novel biological indicator system to detect the effectiveness of a sterilization treatment and methods for assessing the viability of and/or changes in bacterial spores exposed to a sterilization or disinfection method by multiangle light scattering thereby detecting a change in the spores as indicators of spore viability and the efficacy of the sterilization or disinfection method.
