    Abstract: A method for testing a sample for antimicrobial activity is disclosed. The method includes: (a) inoculating the sample with a pigment-competent microorganism; (b) incubating the sample at an incubation temperature for an incubation time period sufficient for growth of the pigment-competent microorganism and for pigment production; and (c) detecting the presence or absence of the pigment-competent microorganism on or in the sample. The method employs an easy-to-interpret color development approach to detect antimicrobial activity of sample materials such as biocidal fabrics.
