Biological indicatorsSteam and plasma sterilization process control

Biological indicators contain viable microorganisms providing a defined resistance to a specific sterilization process. This type of indicator provides information on whether necessary conditions were met to kill a specified number of microorganisms for a given sterilization process. Most of the biological indicators contain endospores, or bacterial spores which are considered some of the most challenging to kill.
