the scientific use of disinfection and sterilization method originated more than 100 yrs ago when ___ introduced the concept of aseptic surgery
joseph lister - using carbolic acid now called phenol
refers to the destruction of all forms of life, including bacterial spores
sterilization
refers to a process that eliminates a defined scope of microorganism
disinfection
a substance applied to a living tissue for the purpose of eliminating or reducing the number of bacteria present is called as
antiseptic
disinfection, sterilization, antiseptic
which one do not kill spores
antiseptic
microorganisms living together in communities, referred to as _____ also provide protection to the microorganisms against chemical and physical means of destruction
biofilm,
the organisms known today to be the most resistant to the actions of heat, chemicals, and radiations are called
prions
are small, naked infectious proteins
prions
total number of organisms present referred to as q
microbial load or bioburden
arrange the microorganism based on their the most resistant to least resistant
“Pabebe Bossing May Nonliligaw na Fungi, Binalewala Lang.**”
prions
bacterial spores
mycobacteria
non lipid viruses
fungi
bacteria
lipid viruses
due to its reliable effects, ease of use and economy, _____ is the most common method used for the elimination of microorganisms
heat
in autoclaving, what is the only component that is not being killed or destroyed during the process
prions
is the sterilization method of choice for heat-stable objects
moist heat
this method is used for heat-stable substances that are not penetrated by most heat such as oils
dry heat
is commonly used to sterilized glassware
dry heat
heat method that can achieve disinfection but not sterilkization, there methods do not eliminate spores
heat methods
boiling and pasteurization
heat method that is used commonly in the food industry, reduces food borne pathogens and organisms responsible for food spoilage
pasteurization
batch method of pasterurization time and temp
63*C for 30 seconds
flash method of pasterurization time and temp
15 seconds 72*C
boiling time and temp
100*C for 15 mns
the physical method that can be used with both liquid and air
filtration
a pore size for critical sterilizing tru fertilization
0.22 um
the most common application of this method is the sterilization of heat-sensitive solutions such as parenteral solutions, vaccines, and antimicrobial solutions
filtration
filtration of air is accomplished with the use of
HEPA or high efficiency particulate air filters q
