Mean changes in temperature and relative humidity (± standard deviation) during the drying of glass carriers contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, recorded across individual replicates under two temperature conditions: 24°C ± 1°C and 37°C ± 1°C.

Recovery of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from glass carriers [log] after drying in individual replicates (n = 6) under two different temperatures: 24°C ± 1°C and 37°C ± 1°C (clean conditions).
