Results
In the case of tests performed using CompactaSterile, the number of CFUs was in the range of 0-3 (Fig. 1-3; Tab. 1). In the case of control animals without CompactaSterile, the amount of CFU was significantly higher (Fig. 4; Tab. 2). A significantly higher amount of CFU was also observed for the samples exposed in the room Fig. 5; Tab 3).
