PLASTICS AND SYNTHETIC POLYMERS IN MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY

Abstract

A survey of the published literature on the utilization of plastics and other polymeric materials in microbiology and virology is presented. Emphasis is placed on the use of polystyrene, polymethylmethacrylate, polyamides, polyethylene and other plastics and synthetic polymers as materials for growing cell, tissue and virus cultures, performing serological investigations, freezing tissues and cells, and producing antibacterial and antiviral preparations.
