Heat resistance data (Mean ± SD) recorded at the different treatment temperatures used and fitted thermal destruction line (-) for Enterococcus faecalis. The equation for the line is log₁₀ D = 8.9359 - 0.10531t (r = -0.72968; total number of log₁₀ D values = 244). The 95% confidence limits on predicted individual log₁₀ D values are shown by (- -). The figure is based on data from: [145, 172, 99, 173, 179, 9, 26, 85, 152, 170, 33, 35, 59, 148, 113, 114, 140, 12, 94, 54, 53].
