16. A hand-held, 1.5-L plant sprayer (Kmart Corp., Troy, MI) was used to apply chemical sprays to skin pieces. The test chemical was aseptically placed and sealed into the plant sprayer. Retain bags were aseptically cut open, and the skin samples were removed and placed on the inside lid of a 150-mL sterile biohazard specimen cup (Fisher Scientific catalog no. 14-375-221). The skin adhered by surface tension, even during inversion. A hole was carved into the bottom of the cup with a hot, sterile, dissecting knife (variation of Lattin et al. [17]). The sprayer nozzle was sanitized then rinsed with sterile water and inserted into the bottom of the cup when the spray application was required.

21. Incubation time for all Brucella-FBP plates and slants was for 48 h at 42°C. Typical C. jejuni colonies on this particular medium were small (∼1 mm), round, convex, and red (due to addition of 200 mg/L triphenyltetrazolium chloride to the media). Confirmation tests included Gram stains (-), wet mounts, catalase (+) tests, agglutination tests (Med-Ox Diagnostics, Ogdensburg, NY), and API Campylobacter biochemical test kits (bioMerieux, Hazelwood, MO).
22. When the bacterial inocula were applied before or after the chemical spray, the effects of the spray (seven test chemicals, contact time 0.5, 3.0, or 10 min) and their interactions on log reduction were analyzed by two-way ANOVA of a completely randomized factorial design [23].
