Description

本発明は、除菌率の測定方法、菌類の定植方法、菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法、菌類定植システム及び除菌率測定システムに関し、より詳細には、例えば、エアーシャワー装置、エアースプレーなどによる各種の除菌装置、除菌手段による除菌効果を評価する際に、実情に即した実験モデルを作成して、除菌効果を評価することが可能な除菌率の測定方法、例えば、除菌装置などによる除菌効果を評価するに当たり、実情に即した実験モデルを作成することができる菌類の定植方法及び該定植方法により定植された菌類の回収率を好適に評価することができる菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法、更に、前記菌類の定植方法を好適に実施することができる菌類定植システム及び前記除菌率の測定方法を好適に実施することができる除菌率測定システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a sterilization rate measuring method, a fungus planting method, a fungus planting / recovery rate measuring method, a fungus planting system and a sterilization rate measuring system, and more specifically, for example, an air shower device, an air spray When evaluating the sterilization effect by various sterilization devices, etc., the sterilization rate can be evaluated by creating an experimental model according to the actual situation, for example, In evaluating the sterilization effect by a sterilization device, etc., it is possible to suitably evaluate the fungus planting method capable of creating an experimental model in accordance with the actual situation and the recovery rate of fungi planted by the planting method A method for measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate of fungi, a fungal planting system that can suitably carry out the method for planting fungi, and a sterilization rate measuring system that can suitably carry out the method for measuring the sterilization rate. On Temu.

近年、同じ衛生水を使用した場合であっても、例えば、除菌装置の構成の違いなどによる除菌処理方法の相違による除菌効果の相違を評価することができる技術の開発が望まれるようになってきた。そしてまた、より現実に近い状態で除菌効果を評価することができる技術の開発も望まれていた。従来より、布のような通気性を有する培地に菌類を定植する手段は、特に確立されてなく、例えば、工業規格試験のJIS L 1912には、マスクなどの細菌バリアー性を調べるために、通気性を有する不織布を通り抜ける細菌をトリプトソイ培地が入ったシャーレに受け止め、通気性を有しないシャーレトリプトソイ寒天培地に抵触し、培養することにより不織布の細菌バリアー製を調べる方法が記載されているが、通気性を有する培地に菌類を定植する手段は記載されていない。また、例えば、特許文献1には、通気性を有する基材に金属と除菌液を塗布し、除菌フィルタを製造することが記載されているが、通気性を有する培地に菌類を定植するという発想は、何ら示唆されていない。   In recent years, even when the same sanitized water is used, it is desired to develop a technique that can evaluate the difference in the sterilization effect due to the difference in the sterilization treatment method due to the difference in the configuration of the sterilization apparatus, for example. It has become. In addition, development of a technique capable of evaluating the sterilization effect in a more realistic state has been desired. Conventionally, means for planting fungi in a medium having air permeability such as cloth has not been established. For example, in JIS L 1912 of the industry standard test, in order to examine bacterial barrier properties such as a mask, aeration Although the bacteria that pass through the non-woven fabric having the property are received in the petri dish containing the tryptic soy medium, the method of examining the non-woven non-bacterial barrier by culturing the non-breathable petri dish tryptic soy agar medium is described, No means for planting fungi on the medium with air permeability is described. Further, for example, Patent Document 1 describes that a sterilization filter is manufactured by applying a metal and a sterilization solution to a base material having air permeability, but fungi are planted in a medium having air permeability. This idea is not suggested at all.

また、例えば、特許文献2には、オゾンエアーシャワー装置による除塵除菌処理の前後における被験者の手の甲に付着している一般生菌を測定することが記載されている。更に、イオン発生素子及び除菌方法に関する特許文献3には、イオン発生素子による除菌効果を評価するために、チャンバ内の空気中の枯草菌芽胞を捕集し、枯草菌芽胞の空気中浮遊生菌数の経時的変化を測定することが記載されている。そして、特許文献4には、除菌マットによる除菌率を測定するために、除菌マットを踏む前と踏んだ後での被験者の靴底をReplica plater(登録商標)で押し付けた後、Replica platerを寒天培地に圧着し、培養後のコロニー数を測定して除菌率を算出して履物からの除菌率を測定することが記載されている。   Further, for example, Patent Document 2 describes measuring general viable bacteria adhering to the back of the subject's hand before and after the dust removal and sterilization treatment by the ozone air shower device. Further, Patent Document 3 relating to an ion generating element and a sterilizing method collects Bacillus subtilis spores in the air in the chamber in order to evaluate the sterilizing effect of the ion generating element, and floats the Bacillus subtilis spores in the air. It is described that the change in the number of viable bacteria over time is measured. In Patent Document 4, in order to measure the sterilization rate of the sterilization mat, the shoe sole of the subject before and after the sterilization mat is pressed with the Replica plater (registered trademark), and then the Replicaa It is described that the plater is pressure-bonded to an agar medium, the number of colonies after culture is measured, the sterilization rate is calculated, and the sterilization rate from footwear is measured.

しかしながら、いずれにも菌類が付着した衣服を着た被除菌者に除菌処理をするというような実際に除菌装置が使用されたり、除菌手段が施される状態を想定し、布などのように通気性を有する培地に菌類を定植して被検体とするという発想、更に、このような被検体に除菌処理をし、処理後の除菌率を測定して除菌装置による除菌効果を評価するという発想は、何ら示唆されていない。   However, it is assumed that a disinfection device is actually used such as disinfecting a sterilized person wearing a garment with fungi attached to it, or a disinfection means is applied, such as cloth The idea of planting fungi in an air-permeable medium as described above to make specimens, and further sterilizing such specimens, measuring the sterilization rate after treatment, and removing them with a sterilization device There is no suggestion of the idea of evaluating the fungal effect.

即ち、本発明の除菌率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程において、第1の定植菌数測定工程により、即ち、定植用培地に付着した菌液の量を測定し、その測定値と菌液に含有された所定菌数とから求められる数値を例えば「重量定植菌数」とし、第2の定植菌数測定工程、即ち、定植用培地に定植した菌類を定植用培地から回収し、回収した菌類を標準寒天培地に塗布し、1〜100時間培養後の菌数を計測することによって求められる数値を「回収定植菌数」とし、これらの値を後述する実施例に記載する方法で繰り返し実験により1×10個/g〜3×10個/gの菌類を含む菌液について重量定植菌数と回収定植菌数とを求めたところ、回収定植菌数÷重量定植菌数×100=88.5±0.6%、相関係数は0.996となり、良好な正の相関が得られた(後述する図5のグラフ参照)。また、再現性も確認された。従って、本発明の除菌率の測定方法によって、例えば、各種除菌装置、除菌手段の除菌効果を評価するのであれば、重量定植菌数と各装置等による除菌後の残存菌数とから相対的な除菌率(相対除菌率)を比較することによって評価をすることができる。一方、例えば、ある特定の除菌装置等による除菌効果を評価するのであれば、例えば、菌類を定植する培地を複数用意し、菌類を定植した培地を二つのグループに分け、一方のグループは菌類を培地から回収し、回収した菌類を標準寒天培地に塗布し、1〜100時間培養後の菌数を計測することによって回収定植菌数を求め、他方のグループは除菌処理を行って残存菌数を求め、回収定植菌数の平均値と特定の除菌装置による除菌後の残存菌数の平均値とから絶対的な除菌率(絶対除菌率)を求めることによって特定の除菌装置による除菌効果を評価することができる。 That is, in the fixed inoculum count measurement step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention, the first fixed inoculum count measurement step, that is, the amount of the bacterial solution adhering to the planting medium is measured, and the measured value and the fungus are measured. The numerical value obtained from the predetermined number of bacteria contained in the liquid is, for example, “weight fixed inoculation number”, and the second fixed inoculation number measurement step, that is, the fungi that have been planted in the planting medium are collected from the planting medium and collected. The obtained fungi are applied to a standard agar medium, and the numerical value obtained by measuring the number of bacteria after culturing for 1 to 100 hours is defined as “recovered fixed inoculum number”, and these values are repeated by the method described in the examples described later. When the weight-fixed inoculum number and the recovered fixed inoculum number were determined for the bacterial solution containing 1 × 10 5 cells / g to 3 × 10 5 cells / g fungus by experiment, the recovered fixed inoculum number / weight inoculated cell count × 100 = 88.5 ± 0.6%, correlation coefficient is 0.996, good Positive correlation was obtained (see the graph of FIG. 5 described later). In addition, reproducibility was also confirmed. Therefore, for example, if the sterilization effect of various sterilization devices and sterilization means is evaluated by the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention, the number of weight-fixed inoculums and the number of remaining bacteria after sterilization by each device, etc. Evaluation can be made by comparing the relative sterilization rate (relative sterilization rate). On the other hand, for example, to evaluate the sterilization effect by a specific sterilization device, for example, prepare a plurality of mediums for planting fungi, divide the medium for planting fungi into two groups, one group is The fungi are recovered from the medium, the recovered fungi are applied to a standard agar medium, and the number of recovered fixed inoculums is obtained by measuring the number of bacteria after culturing for 1 to 100 hours. The other group remains after sterilization treatment Determine the number of bacteria and calculate the absolute sterilization rate (absolute sterilization rate) from the average number of recovered fixed inoculums and the average number of remaining bacteria after sterilization using a specific sterilization device. The sterilization effect by the microbial device can be evaluated.

本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の菌類定植工程、(2)菌類の定植方法及び(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の菌類定植工程は、いずれも菌類を所定菌数となるように含んだ菌液を圧縮空気により霧化して通気性を有する培地に噴霧し、該培地に菌類を定植するものである。ここで、菌類としては、その種類が特に制限されるものではないが、取り扱い易さや安全性などを考慮すれば、Escherichia coli等の大腸菌、Staphylococcus aureus等の黄色ブドウ球菌、Pseudomonas aeruginosa等の緑膿菌などが好適であり、これらの中でも特にEscherichia coli等の大腸菌がより好適である。また、菌液は、含有する菌数が特に制限されるものではないが、4×10〜1×10個/gであると好適であり、より好適には1×10〜1×10個/g、更に好適には1×10〜5×10個/gである。菌液に含まれる菌数が少なすぎると、例えば、除菌処理後の菌の回収が困難となる場合があり、多すぎると、バラツキが生じる場合がある。なお、菌液を調製する液としては、菌数を保持することを考慮すれば、NB500(ニュートリエントブロスの500倍希釈純水溶液)、生理食塩水などが好ましい。 The (1) fungus planting step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention, (2) the fungus planting method, and (3) the fungus planting step of the method for measuring the fungal planting / recovery rate, all of the fungi The bacterial solution contained in such a manner is atomized with compressed air and sprayed onto an air-permeable medium, and fungi are planted on the medium. Here, the type of fungi is not particularly limited, but considering ease of handling and safety, Escherichia coli and other Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and other Staphylococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other green pus. Bacteria and the like are preferred, and among these, Escherichia coli and other E. coli are more preferred. In addition, the number of bacteria contained in the bacterial solution is not particularly limited, but is preferably 4 × 10 4 to 1 × 10 6 / g, and more preferably 1 × 10 5 to 1 ×. 10 6 pieces / g, more preferably 1 × 10 5 to 5 × 10 5 pieces / g. If the number of bacteria contained in the bacterial solution is too small, for example, it may be difficult to recover the bacteria after the sterilization treatment, and if too large, variation may occur. In view of maintaining the number of bacteria, NB500 (500-fold diluted pure aqueous solution of nutritive broth), physiological saline, and the like are preferable as the liquid for preparing the bacterial solution.

菌類を定植する定植用培地としては、通気性を有するものであれば、その種類は特に制限されるものではないが、天然繊維,合成繊維又は半合成繊維からなる織物,編み物又は不織布、シート状の寒天、又は寒天を含浸した天然繊維,合成繊維又は半合成繊維からなる織物,編み物又は不織布から選ばれるものであると、より好適である。ここで、天然繊維,合成繊維又は半合成繊維からなる織物,編み物又は不織布としては、市販のものを好適に使用することができ、シート状の寒天としては、例えば、天草などの寒天原料から得た粘液を、角寒天、細寒天などと同様にして、凍結脱水後の形状がシート状となるようにすることによって製造することができる。また、寒天を含浸した天然繊維,合成繊維又は半合成繊維からなる織物,編み物又は不織布は、例えば、市販の天然繊維,合成繊維又は半合成繊維からなる織物,編み物又は不織布を天草などの寒天原料から得た寒天粘液を必要に応じて適宜濃度に希釈した液中に適宜時間浸し、その後、引き上げて乾燥、又は凍結脱水することによって製造することができる。なお、定植用培地の大きさ、形状は、特に制限されるものではなく、除菌処理の対象と該対象に対する除菌手段などを考慮して適宜選定することができるが、定植用培地が平面として利用できる場合、面積が25mm〜250000mmの正方形、長方形、円形などが好適であり、より好ましくは2500mm〜90000mmの正方形、長方形、円形など、更に好ましくは10000mm〜40000mmの正方形、長方形、円形などである。面積が小さすぎると、定植量が少なくなり、菌液の測定精度が下がる場合があり、面積が大きすぎると、菌液のつく量が全体の重量に対し少なくなるため、菌液の測定精度が下がると共に、回収が難しくなる場合がある。なお、定植用培地の形状としては、衣類などのように3次元立体形状を形成し得るものも用いることができ、この場合、人体形状を模擬した培地固定具に固定し、菌類を定植することもできる。この際、培地固定具を回転することにより、全周方向に菌類を定植することも可能となる。また、定植用培地の形状として衣類などを用いる場合には、菌類の定植前、若しくは定植後に衣類などを裁断することにより、重量の測定や菌類の回収を手際よく行うことも可能である。 The planting medium for planting fungi is not particularly limited as long as it has air permeability, but is woven, knitted or non-woven fabric made of natural fiber, synthetic fiber or semi-synthetic fiber, sheet-like It is more preferable that the agar is selected from woven fabric, knitted fabric or nonwoven fabric made of natural fiber, synthetic fiber or semi-synthetic fiber impregnated with agar. Here, as a woven fabric, a knitted fabric or a non-woven fabric made of natural fibers, synthetic fibers or semi-synthetic fibers, commercially available products can be suitably used. As the sheet-shaped agar, for example, it can be obtained from an agar raw material such as Amakusa. The mucus can be produced by making the shape after freeze dehydration into a sheet shape in the same manner as Kaku Agar and Fine Agar. In addition, a woven fabric, knitted fabric or nonwoven fabric made of natural fiber, synthetic fiber or semi-synthetic fiber impregnated with agar is, for example, a woven fabric, knitted fabric or nonwoven fabric made of commercially available natural fiber, synthetic fiber or semi-synthetic fiber, agar raw material such as Amakusa It can be produced by immersing the agar mucus obtained from the above in a solution diluted to an appropriate concentration as needed, and then pulling it up and drying or freeze-dehydrating. The size and shape of the planting medium are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected in consideration of the sterilization treatment target and the sterilization means for the target. if available as an area of the 25mm 2 ~250000mm 2 square, rectangular, a like circular preferred, more preferably 2500mm 2 ~90000mm 2 of square, rectangular, circular, etc., more preferably square 10000mm 2 ~40000mm 2 , Rectangle, circle, etc. If the area is too small, the amount of planting may be reduced and the measurement accuracy of the bacterial solution may be reduced. If the area is too large, the amount of the bacterial solution attached will be less than the total weight, so the measurement accuracy of the bacterial solution will be reduced. As it falls, it can be difficult to recover. In addition, as the shape of the planting medium, one that can form a three-dimensional solid shape, such as clothing, can be used. In this case, the medium is fixed to a medium fixing device that simulates the human body shape and the fungus is planted. You can also. At this time, by rotating the culture medium fixing tool, it is possible to plant fungi in the entire circumferential direction. In addition, when clothing or the like is used as the shape of the medium for planting, it is possible to measure the weight and collect the fungus by cutting the clothing before or after the planting of the fungus.

本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の菌類定植工程、(2)菌類の定植方法及び(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の菌類定植工程において、菌液を圧縮空気により霧化する手段としては、圧力発生手段と、ジェットノズルと、圧力発生手段により発生した圧力をジェットノズルに搬送する圧力搬送手段と、菌類を含んだ液である菌液を保存する菌液保存手段と、菌液保存手段から菌液をジェットノズルに搬送する菌液搬送手段とを備え、ジェットノズルから菌液を噴出する圧縮空気霧化装置が好適である。以下、図面を参照して菌類定植工程において好適に使用される圧縮空気霧化装置をより詳細に説明する。図1は、圧縮空気霧化装置の一構成例を説明するために圧縮空気霧化装置の一部の縦断面を拡大して示した一部概略縦断面図である。図中1は、圧縮空気霧化装置本体であり、略ペンシル状の形態をなしており、この圧縮空気霧化装置本体1の先端部にはジェットノズル2が設けられており、このジェットノズル2を開閉させるニードル3が圧縮空気霧化装置本体1の軸芯部に沿ってスライド自在に挿入されており、ニードル3は、その後端部に取り付けられたニードル調整器4により軸芯方向にスライドして、ジェットノズル2から図示しない圧力発生手段により発生した圧力(圧縮空気)を搬送する通気路(圧力搬送手段)5を通じて圧縮空気を噴出させると共に、圧縮空気霧化装置本体1の先端部から後方に向かって長さ方向中央部付近まで開設された菌液流路(菌液搬送手段)6を通じて、菌液流路6の後端部上側に菌液7が供給可能となるように取り付けられた菌液容器(菌液保存手段)8から供給される菌液7を噴出して、菌液7を霧化するように構成されている。通気路5は、圧縮空気が供給可能となるように図示しない圧力発生手段に接続されており、空気弁9の開閉によって、圧力調整器10により圧力調整された圧縮空気がジェットノズル2まで搬送される。一方、菌液容器(菌液保存手段)8に保存されている菌液7は、菌液流路(菌液搬送手段)6を通り、ニードル調整器4により、流量を調整され、ジェットノズル2まで搬送されている圧縮空気によりジェットノズル2から噴霧される。   In the (1) fungus planting step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention, (2) the fungus planting method, and (3) the fungus planting step of the fungus planting / recovery measuring method, The pressure generating means, the pressure generating means, the jet nozzle, the pressure conveying means for conveying the pressure generated by the pressure generating means to the jet nozzle, and the fungus liquid storage means for preserving the fungal liquid containing the fungus A compressed air atomizing device that includes a bacterial solution transporting unit that transports the bacterial solution from the bacterial solution storage unit to the jet nozzle and ejects the bacterial solution from the jet nozzle is preferable. Hereinafter, the compressed air atomizer suitably used in the fungus planting process will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially schematic longitudinal sectional view showing an enlarged part of a longitudinal section of the compressed air atomizing device in order to explain one configuration example of the compressed air atomizing device. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a compressed air atomizer main body, which has a substantially pencil shape. A jet nozzle 2 is provided at the tip of the compressed air atomizer main body 1. The needle 3 that opens and closes the needle is slidably inserted along the axial core portion of the compressed air atomizer main body 1, and the needle 3 is slid in the axial direction by the needle adjuster 4 attached to the rear end thereof. Then, compressed air is ejected from the jet nozzle 2 through an air passage (pressure conveying means) 5 for conveying pressure (compressed air) generated by a pressure generating means (not shown), and from the front end of the compressed air atomizing apparatus main body 1 to the rear. It is attached so that the bacterial solution 7 can be supplied to the upper side of the rear end portion of the bacterial solution flow path 6 through the bacterial solution flow path (bacterial solution conveying means) 6 opened to the vicinity of the central portion in the longitudinal direction. Fungus Container spewing bacterial liquid 7 supplied from (bacterial liquid storage unit) 8, and is configured to atomize the bacterial suspension 7. The air passage 5 is connected to pressure generating means (not shown) so that compressed air can be supplied, and the compressed air pressure-adjusted by the pressure regulator 10 is conveyed to the jet nozzle 2 by opening and closing the air valve 9. The On the other hand, the bacterial solution 7 stored in the bacterial solution container (bacterial solution storage unit) 8 passes through the bacterial solution channel (bacterial solution transport unit) 6, the flow rate is adjusted by the needle adjuster 4, and the jet nozzle 2. The air is sprayed from the jet nozzle 2 by the compressed air being conveyed up to

このような構成を有する装置としては、圧力発生手段として、コンプレッサー、ポンプなどを連結したエアーブラシ、射出ノズルなどを利用することができる。そして、このような圧縮空気霧化装置を利用し、定植用培地として上述したような織物、編み物、不織布などを利用する場合、図2に示す菌類の定植システムAを利用すると、より好適である。この定植システムAは、エアーブラシ(圧縮空気霧化装置本体)1にコンプレッサー(圧力発生手段)12を連結した圧縮空気霧化装置11と、定植用培地13と、定植用培地13をエアーブラシ(圧縮空気霧化装置本体)1のジェットノズルの先端部から所定距離離間した位置に固定する枠体14と秤(重力測定手段)15を備えた培地固定具Bを備えたものである。ここで、培地固定具Bは、定植用培地13をアクリル材などにより作成した枠体14に固定することができれば、その構成が特に制限されるものではないが、枠体14を秤(重力測定手段)15上に支持、載置する支柱16と台座17(図3参照)を備え、枠体14に定植用培地13を定植に用いる圧力(風力)によりなびかないように画鋲やクリップを利用して固定、取り付けるように構成されていると、より好適である。このシステムAの場合、圧縮空気霧化装置11と培地固定具Bは、実験台Cの上に載置してある。なお、定植用培地とジェットノズルの先端部との離間距離は、菌類の定植面積と定植する菌液の量などを考慮して適宜選定することができるが、50〜1000mmが好適であり、より好ましくは100〜700mm、更に好ましくは200〜500mmである。   As an apparatus having such a configuration, an air brush, an injection nozzle, or the like connected with a compressor, a pump, or the like can be used as the pressure generating means. And when using such a compressed air atomization apparatus and using the textiles, knitting, nonwoven fabric, etc. which were mentioned above as a planting culture medium, it is more suitable if the fungus planting system A shown in FIG. 2 is utilized. . This planting system A includes a compressed air atomizing device 11 in which a compressor (pressure generating means) 12 is connected to an air brush (compressed air atomizing device main body) 1, a planting medium 13, and a planting medium 13. The compressed air atomizer main body) 1 is provided with a culture medium fixture B provided with a frame body 14 and a scale (gravity measuring means) 15 that are fixed at a position separated from the tip of the jet nozzle by a predetermined distance. Here, the configuration of the medium fixing tool B is not particularly limited as long as the planting medium 13 can be fixed to the frame body 14 made of an acrylic material or the like. Means) A supporting column 16 and a pedestal 17 (see FIG. 3) are provided and supported on 15, and a thumbtack and a clip are used so that the planting medium 13 is not fluttered by the pressure (wind force) used for planting on the frame 14. It is more suitable if it is configured to be fixed and attached. In the case of this system A, the compressed air atomizer 11 and the medium fixture B are placed on the experimental table C. The separation distance between the planting medium and the tip of the jet nozzle can be appropriately selected in consideration of the planting area of the fungus and the amount of fungus to be planted, but is preferably 50 to 1000 mm, more Preferably it is 100-700 mm, More preferably, it is 200-500 mm.

ここで、上記のような圧縮空気霧化装置を利用する場合、圧力発生手段による圧力が1.2〜10kg/cmであると、好適であり、より好ましくは1.5〜7kg/cm、更に好ましくは2〜7kg/cmである。圧力が低すぎると、噴霧液の平均粒径が大きくなり、定植用培地への均一な定植が困難となる場合があり、圧力が高すぎると、菌にかかる圧力が高くなることや菌の定植時に菌が定植用培地に接触し、死滅することにより、回収率が低下したり、定植用培地にかかる圧力が高くなることにより、均一な培地への定植が困難となる場合がある。また、ジェットノズルの口径が0.05〜0.5mmであると、好適であり、より好ましくは0.1〜0.4mm、更に好ましくは0.15〜0.35mmである。ジェットノズルの口径が小さすぎると、微細なゴミが存在するだけでもノズルがつまることにより、菌液が適正に霧化し難くなる場合があり、ジェットノズルの口径が大きすぎると、ノズルから霧化される菌液の平均粒径が大きくなり、定植用培地に対し均一に定植することが難しくなる場合がある。 Here, when using the compressed air atomizer as described above, it is preferable that the pressure generated by the pressure generating means is 1.2 to 10 kg / cm 2 , and more preferably 1.5 to 7 kg / cm 2. More preferably, it is 2-7 kg / cm 2 . If the pressure is too low, the average particle size of the spray solution may increase, and it may be difficult to achieve uniform planting in the planting medium. If the pressure is too high, the pressure applied to the bacteria may increase, Occasionally, the bacteria come into contact with the planting medium and die, so that the recovery rate may decrease, or the pressure applied to the planting medium may increase, and it may be difficult to plant a uniform medium. Moreover, it is suitable in the aperture diameter of a jet nozzle being 0.05-0.5 mm, More preferably, it is 0.1-0.4 mm, More preferably, it is 0.15-0.35 mm. If the diameter of the jet nozzle is too small, the microbe may not be atomized properly due to clogging even if fine dust is present, and if the diameter of the jet nozzle is too large, it will be atomized from the nozzle. In some cases, the average particle size of the bacterial solution becomes large, and it becomes difficult to plant uniformly in the medium for planting.

また、本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の菌類定植工程、(2)菌類の定植方法及び(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の菌類定植工程において、定植用培地に噴霧される菌液の噴霧量は、特に制限されるものではないが、1〜50ml/分であると、好適であり、より好ましくは5〜30ml/分、更に好ましくは10〜20ml/分である。噴霧量が少なすぎると、定植にバラツキが生じ易くなる場合があり、多すぎると、菌液が定植用培地から流れ落ち易くなる場合がある。なお、噴霧される菌液の平均粒径が定植用培地の孔径より小さいと、菌液は定植用培地をすり抜けてしまい、定植用培地に定植され難くなる可能性があることを考慮すると、噴出された菌液の平均粒径が定植用培地の孔径以上の径を有するものであれば、菌液の定植効率をより向上させることが可能となると考えられる。噴霧される菌液の平均粒径の測定方法としては、定植用培地の直前の菌液の粒径をレーザー装置で測定したり、定植用培地の直前の菌液の噴霧粒子を高性能カメラで撮影し、その平均粒径を計測する方法などが挙げられる。また、定植用培地の孔径の測定方法としては、定植用培地を顕微鏡で観察する方法などが挙げられる。   Further, in the (1) fungus planting step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention, (2) fungus planting method, and (3) the fungus planting step of the method for measuring the fungus planting / recovery rate, the planting medium is sprayed. The amount of sprayed bacterial solution is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 50 ml / min, more preferably 5 to 30 ml / min, and still more preferably 10 to 20 ml / min. . If the spraying amount is too small, there may be cases where the planting tends to vary, and if it is too much, the bacterial solution may easily flow down from the planting medium. If the average particle size of the sprayed bacterial solution is smaller than the pore diameter of the planting medium, the bacterial solution will slip through the planting medium and may be difficult to plant in the planting medium. If the average particle size of the fungus solution is larger than the pore size of the planting medium, it is considered that the planting efficiency of the fungus solution can be further improved. To measure the average particle size of the sprayed bacterial solution, the particle size of the bacterial solution immediately before the planting medium can be measured with a laser device, or the sprayed particles of the bacterial solution immediately before the planting medium can be measured with a high-performance camera. A method of photographing and measuring the average particle diameter is included. Examples of the method for measuring the pore diameter of the planting medium include a method of observing the planting medium with a microscope.

次に、本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程について詳述する。上述したように、本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程において、定植菌数は、第1の定植菌数測定工程により求められる重量定植菌数であってもよく、又は、第2の定植菌数測定工程により求められる回収定植菌数であってもよい。本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程において、第1の定植菌数測定工程により重量定植菌数を求める場合、その工程は、本発明の(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程と同様であり、菌類定植工程によって培地に付着した菌液の量を測定し、その測定値と菌液に含有された所定菌数とから重量定植菌数を求めることができる。より具体的には、秤などの重量測定装置を利用して、菌液を噴霧する前後の培地の重量を測定し、噴霧後の重量増加分を噴霧により培地に付着した重量(噴霧重量)とし、(噴霧重量)×(菌液に含有された所定菌数)=重量定植菌数とすることによって、算出することができる。この重量定植菌数が、本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の第1の定植菌数測定工程により求められる(重量)定植菌数、(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程により求められる定植菌数である。   Next, the fixed inoculum count measurement step of the method for measuring the (1) sterilization rate of the present invention will be described in detail. As described above, in the constant inoculation count measurement step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention (1), the constant inoculation count may be the weight fixed inoculation count obtained in the first constant inoculation count measurement step. Alternatively, it may be the number of recovered fixed inoculums obtained by the second constant inoculum number measuring step. In the constant inoculation count measurement step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention, when the weight fixed inoculation count is obtained by the first constant inoculation count measurement step, the step is the (3) fungal fixed planting of the present invention.・ Same as the fixed inoculum count measurement process in the recovery rate measurement method, measure the amount of the bacterial solution adhering to the medium by the fungus planting process, and then determine the weight of the plant from the measured value and the predetermined number of bacteria contained in the bacterial solution. The number of bacteria can be determined. More specifically, the weight of the medium before and after spraying the bacterial solution is measured using a weight measuring device such as a scale, and the weight increase after spraying is defined as the weight attached to the medium by spraying (spray weight). , (Spray weight) × (predetermined number of bacteria contained in the bacterial solution) = weight fixed number of inoculated bacteria. This weight fixed inoculation number is obtained by the first constant inoculation number measurement step of (1) the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention. (Weight) the fixed inoculation number, (3) the method for measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate of fungi It is the fixed inoculum number calculated | required by the fixed inoculum number measurement process of (1).

一方、本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の定植菌数測定工程において、第2の定植菌数測定工程により回収定植菌数を求める場合、その工程は、本発明の(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の定植菌類回収工程と回収菌数測定工程と同様であり、定植用培地に定植した菌類を定植用培地から回収し(定植菌類回収工程)、回収した菌類を標準寒天培地に塗布し、1〜100時間培養後の菌数を計測することによって回収定植菌数を求めることができる。回収定植菌数の場合、菌類を定植用培地から回収する手段としては、ストマッカー処理により培地から洗い出して回収する方法がより好適である。より具体的には、例えば、定植用培地を培地固定具を使用して固定していた場合には、培地固定具から取り外し、市販されているストマッカー袋に定植用培地の重量に合わせて適宜量(例えば、定植用培地重量の5〜30倍量)の生理食塩水などと共に入れ、このストマッカー袋をストマッカーに取り付け、例えば、60秒間程度のストマッカー処理を行う。この処理後の回収液を培地から回収した菌類とし、必要に応じて1〜100倍程度に生理食塩水などにより希釈し、スパイラルプレーターなどの菌液塗布装置により前記希釈した塗布用菌液を標準寒天培地に塗布して、恒温槽の培養温度を37±2℃とし、1〜100時間、より好ましくは2〜60時間、更に好ましくは10〜50時間培養した後、コロニーカウンターで寒天培地を観察し、菌数を計測することによって、回収定植菌数を求める。この回収定植菌数が、(1)除菌率の測定方法の第2の定植菌数測定工程により求められる(回収)定植菌数であり、(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の定植菌類回収工程、回収菌数測定工程により求められる回収菌数である。そして、(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の場合、上述した定植菌数と回収菌数とから培地に定植した菌類の定植・回収率を求めるものであり、より具体的には、回収菌数÷定植菌数×100=定植・回収率(%)により、培地に定植した菌類の定植・回収率を算出することができる。   On the other hand, in the constant inoculum count measurement step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention (1), when the recovered fixed inoculum count is determined by the second constant inoculum count count step, the step is the (3) fungi of the present invention. Is the same as the fixed plant recovery process and the number of recovered bacteria measurement process in the method of measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate, and the fungi planted in the fixed planting medium are recovered from the fixed planting medium (fixed plant recovery process), and the recovered fungi are standard The number of recovered fixed inoculated bacteria can be determined by applying to an agar medium and measuring the number of bacteria after culturing for 1 to 100 hours. In the case of the recovered fixed plant count, as a means for recovering the fungus from the fixed planting medium, a method of washing and recovering the fungus from the medium by a stomacher treatment is more preferable. More specifically, for example, when the planting medium is fixed using a medium fixing tool, the medium is removed from the medium fixing tool, and an appropriate amount is set in a commercially available stomacher bag according to the weight of the planting medium. It is put together with a physiological saline (for example, 5 to 30 times the weight of the medium for planting), this stomacher bag is attached to the stomacher, and the stomacher treatment is performed for about 60 seconds, for example. The recovered liquid after this treatment is a fungus recovered from the culture medium, diluted with physiological saline or the like about 1 to 100 times as necessary, and the diluted bacterial liquid for application is applied by a bacterial liquid application device such as a spiral plater. After applying to a standard agar medium and setting the culture temperature of the thermostat to 37 ± 2 ° C. and culturing for 1 to 100 hours, more preferably 2 to 60 hours, and even more preferably 10 to 50 hours, By observing and counting the number of bacteria, the number of recovered fixed inoculums is determined. This recovered fixed inoculum count is the (recovered) fixed inoculum count determined by the second fixed inoculum count measuring step in (1) the method of measuring the sterilization rate, and (3) the method of measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate of fungi This is the number of recovered bacteria determined by the fixed plant inoculum recovery process and the recovered bacteria count measurement process. And (3) in the case of the method for measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate of fungi, the planting / recovery rate of the fungi planted in the medium is determined from the above-mentioned fixed plant count and the recovered bacterial count, more specifically, The fixed planting / recovery rate of the fungi planted in the medium can be calculated from the number of recovered bacteria / the number of fixed plantings × 100 = the fixed planting / recovery rate (%).

ここで、(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の場合、菌類定植工程において、予め除菌処理を施した定植用培地に菌類を定植すると、定植用培地に予め施すことができる除菌手段の除菌効率を評価することが可能となる。即ち、定植用培地として、予め除菌処理を施した定植用培地と除菌処理を施していない定植用培地を用意し、これらに定植した菌類の定植・回収率を比較することによって、除菌手段を施した定植用培地の残存菌数と、除菌処理を施さない定植用培地の残存菌数とを比較することができ、予め定植用培地に施した除菌処理、除菌手段による除菌効果の評価を行うことができる。より具体的には、例えば、銀イオンを含浸させたウール100%の布(織物)を除菌処理を施した定植用培地とし、含浸処理をしないウール100%の布(織物)を未処理の定植用培地とし、同条件の菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法によって、除菌処理を施した定植用培地と未処理の定植用培地の定植・回収率をそれぞれ求め、これらの値を比較することによって、銀イオンの含浸処理による除菌効果を評価することができる。   Here, (3) In the case of the method for measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate of fungi, if the fungus is planted in a fixed planting medium that has been previously sterilized in the fungal planting step, the bacteria can be preliminarily applied to the fixed planting medium. It becomes possible to evaluate the sterilization efficiency of the means. That is, as a fixed planting medium, a fixed planting medium that has been sterilized in advance and a fixed planting medium that has not been sterilized are prepared, and by comparing the fixed planting / recovery rate of the fungi planted in these, It is possible to compare the number of remaining bacteria in the fixed planting medium with the means and the number of remaining bacteria in the fixed planting medium without the sterilization treatment. Evaluation of fungal effect can be performed. More specifically, for example, a 100% wool cloth (woven fabric) impregnated with silver ions is used as a planting medium subjected to sterilization treatment, and a 100% wool cloth (woven fabric) that is not impregnated is untreated. Determine the planting / recovery rate of the sterilized planting medium and the untreated planting medium using the method for measuring the planting / recovery rate of fungi under the same conditions, and compare these values. Thus, the sterilization effect by the silver ion impregnation treatment can be evaluated.

本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の除菌処理工程について詳述すると、この除菌処理工程には、菌類を定植した定植用培地に除菌剤を付着させて培地を除菌する方法と、菌類を定植した定植用培地を除菌された空気に接触させたり、除菌された空気中に菌類を定植した定植用培地を載置する方法と、イオン性微粒子を噴霧する装置により除菌する方法とがある。ここで、除菌処理の方法は、特に制限されるものではないが、例えば、菌類を定植した定植用培地に除菌剤を付着させて培地を除菌する除菌方法としては、エアーシャワー装置、エアースプレーなどの除菌装置による除菌効果を評価することを想定すると、除菌剤を圧縮空気により霧化して噴霧する圧縮空気方式の霧化装置、より具体的には、コンプレッサー付のエアーブラシ、射出ノズル等の圧縮空気霧化装置、超音波振動子により霧化する超音波方式の霧化装置、より具体的には、除菌機能付きの加湿器、除菌機能付きの湿度調整器等の超音波霧化装置、手動ポンプ式のスプレー容器に除菌剤を収容して微粒子化するスプレー装置などの各種除菌装置によって、定植用培地に除菌剤を付着させる除菌方法を挙げることができる。一方、除菌された空気に菌類を定植した定植用培地を接触させたり、除菌された空気中に菌類を定植した定植用培地を載置する除菌方法、除菌手段としては、イオン性微粒子を噴霧する装置により除菌を行った空気に接触させたり、紫外線により滅菌した空間に載置する除菌方法などを挙げることができる。   The sterilization treatment step of the measurement method of (1) sterilization rate of the present invention will be described in detail. In this sterilization treatment step, a sterilizing agent is attached to a planting medium in which fungi are planted, and the medium is sterilized. A method, a method of placing a planting medium in which fungi are planted in contact with sterilized air, or a method of placing a planting medium in which bacteria are planted in sterilized air, and a device for spraying ionic microparticles. There is a method of sterilization. Here, the method of the sterilization treatment is not particularly limited. For example, as a sterilization method of sterilizing a culture medium by attaching a sterilization agent to a planting medium in which fungi are planted, an air shower device is used. Assuming that the sterilizing effect of a sterilizing device such as an air spray is evaluated, a compressed air type atomizing device that atomizes and sprays a sterilizing agent with compressed air, more specifically, air with a compressor. Compressed air atomizers such as brushes and injection nozzles, ultrasonic atomizers that atomize with ultrasonic transducers, more specifically, humidifiers with a sterilization function, humidity controllers with a sterilization function Examples of sterilization methods for attaching a sterilizing agent to a medium for planting by various sterilizing devices such as an ultrasonic atomizer such as a spray device that contains a sterilizing agent in a manual pump type spray container be able to. On the other hand, as a sterilization method or sterilization means, a fixed culture medium in which fungi are planted in contact with sterilized air or a fixed culture medium in which fungi are planted in sterilized air is placed. Examples thereof include a method of sterilizing by contacting with air sterilized by an apparatus for spraying fine particles or placing in a space sterilized by ultraviolet rays.

本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法の残存菌類回収工程は、除菌処理後の培地に残存する菌類を培地から回収するものであり、残存菌数測定工程は、残存菌類回収工程によって培地から回収した菌類を培養用培地に塗布し、培養後の菌数を測定するものであり、これらの工程の具体的な方法は、上述した(1)除菌率の測定方法の第2の定植菌数測定工程、(3)菌類の定植・回収率の測定方法の定植菌類回収工程と回収菌数測定工程と同様であり、残存菌類回収工程において、菌類を、ストマッカー処理により培地から洗い出して回収するとより好適であることも同様である。また、この工程においても、培養用培地が標準寒天培地であると、種々の微生物の増殖がし易いことから、より好適であり、培養時間も1〜100時間、より好ましくは2〜60時間、更に好ましくは10〜50時間であると、より好適である。   The remaining fungus recovery step of the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention is to recover fungi remaining in the culture medium after the sterilization treatment from the medium. The fungus recovered from the medium is applied to the culture medium and the number of bacteria after the cultivation is measured. The specific method of these steps is the second method of (1) measuring the sterilization rate described above. This is the same as the fixed fungus recovery process and the recovered fungus count measurement process in (3) the method of measuring the fixed planting / recovery rate of fungi. In the remaining fungus recovery process, the fungi are washed out from the medium by the stomacher treatment. Similarly, it is more suitable to collect. Also in this step, it is more preferable that the culture medium is a standard agar medium because various microorganisms can easily grow. The culture time is also 1 to 100 hours, more preferably 2 to 60 hours. More preferably, it is more suitable for 10 to 50 hours.

そして、本発明の(1)除菌率の測定方法は、上述したように、重量定植菌数と除菌後の残存菌数とから相対的な除菌率(相対除菌率)、より具体的には、(重量定植菌数−残存菌数)÷重量定植菌数×100=相対除菌率(%)によって、相対的な除菌率を算出することができ、例えば、各種除菌装置の方式、除菌手段を想定した除菌処理後の相対除菌率を求め、これらの値を比較することにより、各種除菌装置、除菌手段の除菌効果を評価することができる。一方、回収定植菌数と除菌後の残存菌数とから絶対的な除菌率(絶対除菌率)、より具体的には、(回収定植菌数−残存菌数)÷回収定植菌数×100=絶対除菌率(%)によって、絶対的な除菌率を算出することができ、例えば、菌類を定植する培地を複数用意し、菌類を定植した培地を二つのグループに分け、一方のグループから回収定植菌数を求め、他方のグループは特定の除菌装置の方式、除菌手段を想定した除菌処理を行って残存菌数を求め、回収定植菌数の平均値と特定の除菌装置、除菌手段による除菌後の残存菌数の平均値とから絶対的な除菌率(絶対除菌率)を求めることによって特定の除菌装置、除菌手段による除菌効果を評価することができる。   And, as described above, (1) the method for measuring the sterilization rate of the present invention is a relative sterilization rate (relative sterilization rate) from the weight-fixed number of bacteria and the number of remaining bacteria after sterilization, more specifically. Specifically, the relative sterilization rate can be calculated by (weight constant inoculation number−remaining cell number) ÷ weight constant inoculation number × 100 = relative sterilization rate (%). For example, various sterilization devices The relative sterilization rate after the sterilization treatment assuming the above-mentioned method and sterilization means is obtained, and the sterilization effect of various sterilization devices and sterilization means can be evaluated by comparing these values. On the other hand, the absolute sterilization rate (absolute sterilization rate) from the recovered fixed inoculum count and the residual microbial count after sterilization, more specifically, (recovered fixed inoculum count-remaining microbial count) ÷ recovered fixed inoculum count X100 = Absolute sterilization rate (%) can be used to calculate the absolute sterilization rate. For example, a plurality of mediums for planting fungi are prepared, and the medium for planting fungi is divided into two groups. The number of recovered fixed inoculations is calculated from the group of the other group, the other group performs the sterilization treatment assuming the method of the specific sterilization device and the sterilization means, determines the number of remaining bacteria, By determining the absolute sterilization rate (absolute sterilization rate) from the average number of remaining bacteria after sterilization by the sterilization device and sterilization means, the sterilization effect by the specific sterilization device and sterilization means Can be evaluated.

上記表3の結果によれば、本発明の菌類の定植方法を用いた通気性を有する定植用培地への菌類の定植と、前記菌類を定植された定植用培地への除菌手段による除菌により、前記除菌手段の検証(ここでは、除菌率94%以上)を行えることが確認された。更にまた、除菌手段に用いる除菌剤濃度を変えた場合、高い除菌効果が見込まれる除菌剤濃度の高い実施例において、除菌剤濃度の低い実施例よりも高い除菌率が得られることが確認された。同じ除菌手段による同様の除菌を行った場合、従来用いられている通気性を持たないシャーレ寒天培地においては、除菌率が10%程度と比較的低かった。これらのことから、本発明の菌類の定植方法は、除菌率の測定方法としても有用であることが示された。   According to the results in Table 3 above, planting of fungi on a planting medium having air permeability using the planting method of fungi of the present invention, and sterilization by means of sterilization of the planting medium in which the fungi were planted Thus, it was confirmed that the sterilization means can be verified (in this case, the sterilization rate is 94% or more). Furthermore, when the concentration of the disinfectant used for the disinfecting means is changed, a higher disinfecting rate is obtained in the example having a high disinfectant concentration that is expected to have a high disinfecting effect than in the example having a low disinfectant concentration. It was confirmed that When similar sterilization was carried out by the same sterilization means, the sterilization rate of the conventional petri dish agar medium without air permeability was relatively low at about 10%. From these results, it was shown that the method for planting fungi of the present invention is also useful as a method for measuring the sterilization rate.
