Abstract

Herein we report that the Thomson Standard and eXtreme/FV® filter vials (0.2 μm polyvinylidene difluoride filter membrane) are as effective as gold standard microporous membrane-based syringe filters at removing bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumonia, from media samples produced in the microbiological laboratory.
