a Evolution in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Escherichia coli field isolates for benzalkoniumchloride, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and D50®, expressed as percentages. Samples were taken after cleaning and disinfection (C&D) over a period of 6 production cycles: t0 (zero measurement, n = 3), t1 (after production cycle 1, n = 18), t3 (after production cycle 3, n = 40) and t5 (after production cycle 5, n = 6) at the pilot broiler farm. Monitoring of C&D took place from production cycle 1. b Evolution in minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Escherichia coli field isolates for benzalkoniumchloride, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and D50®, expressed as percentages.
