RESUMO

In Brazil, daily, 2.3 tons of potentially contaminated cultured medium with microorganisms are discarded. The RDC 306 resolution from the Brazilian National Health Department rules out that residue must be treated prior to discart in order to reduce microbial load. Two methods were developed to evaluate the sensitivity, efficiency and ideal concentration of a chemical agent (biocide) against microorganisms. The Ágars Diffusion Method by Circular Perforator (PCA) and by Linear Perforator (PLA) were tested with 13 microorganism lines and the biocide composed by Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) and its combination with Acetic Acid (CH3COOH). The microbial load reduction was evaluated by the real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. From the in vitro data, an automatic equipment to process the potentially contaminated culture media (SADEMC) was developed. The PCA method was reproductive and efficient to measure the bacterial growth inhibition induced by the biocide. The minimum biocide concentration capable to reduce the microbial growth was a solution of 0.25% NaClO (250 ppm) and 0.2% CH3COOH (200 ppm). In the SADEMC, the direct exposition of 4.6 kg of culture media in 100 liters of biocide for a period of 15 minutes is capable to reduce the microbial load in approximately 1,4E10 of colony-forming unit. We may conclude that the SADEMC is able to promote a microbial load reduction more intense than the one demanded by the RDC 306 resolution. In addition to that, the SADEMC contemplates personnel safety and allows recycling the plastic residues
