From: A sterilization method for human decellularized vaginal matrices
Controlled contamination with L. crispatus, S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans strains was performed and the number of colony-forming unit (CFU) per material was assessed for untreated specimen and after chemical decellularization with complementary AAE-based sterilization treatment (n = 9, triplicates from 3 donors). A significant elimination of contaminants was observed for species of L. crispatus (P < 0.01), S. aureus (P < 0.001), E. coli (P < 0.01) and C. albicans (P < 0.05).
