Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Determination of bactericidal efficacy
Japanese term or phrase: **殺菌維持時間
Hello everyone,

Translating a paper dealing with bactericidal efficacy, and following on from the previous question... I'm not sure how to translate the compound above - could this be "time to maintain sterility"? Does that sound at all correct?
Hoping to hear from those more experienced.

Context: その殺菌効果は、最大殺菌減少度は-2.21(log)を示し、-1 log殺菌維持時間は7.98hr、-2 log殺菌維持時間は1.6hr、回復所要時間は15.92hr、殺菌曲線上面積は17.0Δlog cfu・hr/mLを示した。

English translation:**sterilization holding time
Explanation:
The holding time typically refers to the time during a sterilization cycle when the vessel is held at a constant temperature. For steam sterilization in an autoclave, this is normally the time a vessel is held at 121°C.

"Time to maintain sterility" seems correct.

The largest reduction in sterility shows -2.21(log) for the effects (of sterilization), the -1 log time to maintain sterility is 7.98hr, the -2 log time to maintain sterility is 1.6hr and the time needed for restoration is 15.92hr. The area for the killing curve displayed 17.0Δlog cfu・hr/mL.
