Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Disinfection and Sterilization of Microorganisms”(https://mdpi.longhoe.net/si/166278).
Sterilization, disinfection, decontamination, etc., are indispensable methods to inactivate microorganisms, as some microorganisms can be harmful to human beings. Sterilization validation is a worldwide regulation issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The Technical Committee (TC) 198 of the ISO is under discussion with regard to sterilization validation. Sterilization validation is an important method by which to properly inactivate microorganisms, which will be welcomed in the future. Biological indicators are an important tool for evaluating sterilization efficiency. Therefore, sterilization validation and BIs will be discussed in this Special Issue.
Dr. Hideharu Shintani
Guest Editor
