Chapter 9, Problem 17CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The phenol coefficient of phenol used against Staphylococcus.
Introduction:
Phenol coefficient is used to measure the bactericidal activity of other chemicals in comparison to the bactericidal activity of phenol. In numerical expression, the disinfecting power of a chemical is compared with phenol to perform a standardized test.
