A Method for Collection of Bacteria from Air and Textiles.

Abstract

A method is described for collection of air-borne bacteria, by means of dispersing air at a rate of 30 liters per minute from a Folin aeration tube into 20 cc of broth contained in a test tube. The apparatus is about 90% efficient, is readily constructed from simple equipment, and may be adapted to estimation of the bacterial content of textiles.
