aseptic

bacteriocide, fungicide, germicide, virucide


cide


cidal


indicating desctruction of a type of microbe


removal of germs by handwashing, alcohol, aldehydes, soaps.




removal of microbes by mechanical means

degerming

destruction of most microorganisms and viruses on nonling tissue




using phenolics, alcohols, aldehydes, soaps


disinfection i.e. disinfectant

removal of pathogens from objects to meet public health standards.




eg.


washing tableware in restaurants.


sanitization

suffixes indicating inhibition but not complete destruction of a type of microbe.




eg. bacteriostatic, fungistatic, virustatic


-stasis


-static

destruction of all microorganisms and viruses in or on an object




typically achieved by steam under pressure, incineration, or ethylene oxide gas.


sterilization
not all pathogens are eliminated by disinfection (some ___________, ___________) and it is used on inanimate objects

viruses and endospores
permanent loss of reproductive ability under ideal environmental conditions...

microbial death

bacteriostatic vs bacteriocidal


design an experiment

plot of consistent microbial death rate over time indicates stasis or cidal




cells death per hour

action of antimicrobial agents


two categories:



1.agents that alter cell walls and membranes


2. those that interrupt cellular metabolism and reproduction (proteins and nucleic acids)

non-enveloped viruses have ________ tolerance of harsh conditions.

greater
–Inexpensive –Fast-acting –Stable during storage –Capable of controlling microbial growth while being harmless to
humans, animals, and objects
antimicrobial control methods should be





prions


bacterial endospores


mycobacteria


cysts of protozoa


active stage protozoa


most resistant microbes to antimicrobials:

most gram - bacteria


fungi


nonenveloped viruses


most gram positive bacteria


enveloped viruses


most susceptible microbes to antimicrobial agents
what type of heat is better for killing oraganisms

moist heat because water is better conductor of heat than air.
methods of heat: disinfection, sanitization, sterilization

kills vegetative cells of bacteria and fungi protozoan trophozoites, and most viruses

boiling
