A four log kill is where a disinfectant (or process) is able to kill 10e4 (10,000) organisms of a test inoculum. A four log kill can also be expressed as killing 99.99% of organisms. In many cases, a four log kill is considered the minimum level of high level disinfection, with a six log kill being required for higher threat agents such as anthrax, etc.
