摘要:
This invention relates to a a process for decontaminating or sterilizing an article contaminated with spores. The process comprises contacting the spores with a liquid sterilant for a sufficient period of time to effect a desired reduction (e.g., at least a 4 log reduction) in the number of spores capable of returning to vegetative growth. The liquid sterilant may comprise water, an antimicrobial agent (e.g., peracetic acid) and a peroxide (e.g., hydrogen peroxide).
