Table 1. Recovery of M. gallisepticum (Mg) and E. faecalis (Ef) strain 6085.94 from experimentally produced aerosols. Aerosol samples were simultaneously taken with gelatine filters (GF) coupled to a MD8 Airscan and by impinger (IMP) connected to a membrane vacuum pump. The aerosol doses and the titres of aerosols were assessed by culture and are expressed as log10 colony forming units per m3 of air.
Table 2. Moisture content of gelatin and cellulose nitrate filters assessed by drying1 and gravimetrics. Both unused filters and filters through which air had been aspirated were examined.
