Aus der IUVA-Malayeri-2016-Fluence-Kompilation. Primärstudie: Bohrerova & Linden 2006, LP-Hg 254 nm — nichttuberkulöses Mykobakterium, etabliertes Surrogat für M. tuberculosis; ausgeprägtes Tailing bei höheren Dosen (3-log erst bei ~16 mJ/cm2).

UV-C dose–response (D-values)

A D-value is the UV-C dose (in mJ/cm²) needed for a given log-reduction. D90 = 90 % inactivation = 1-log; D99 = 99 % = 2-log; D99.9 = 99.9 % = 3-log, and so on. Values come from the cited study under its specific test conditions.

Reduction log Dose (mJ/cm²)

D90 90 % 1-log 3.9 mJ/cm²

D99 99 % 2-log 9.3 mJ/cm²

D99.9 99.9 % 3-log 16 mJ/cm²

Morphology & UV-C resistance

Wachsartige Mykolsäure-Zellwand → leicht erhöhte UV-C-Resistenz; Tailing bei höheren Dosen.
