Sterilization

Destroy all microbes

Disinfectant

Destroy pathogens, not endospors on inanimate objects

Anticeptic

Disinfectant applide to skin

sanetization

Cleaning technique used to mechanically remove microbes

Degerminiation

Reduce number of microbes



Lysis

Microbe cell death


permanent loss of reproductive ability

Pathogen

infectious agent

4 modes of action

1. destroy cell wall


2. destroy cell membrane by soap/detergent


3. stop replication, transcription, protein synthesis


4. interfere with ribosomes

Moist Heat

Steam under pressure, lower temp, shorter exposure time, effects protein


Autoclave 15 psi, 121 C 10-40 min



Non pressurized steam


Tyndallization

Free flowing steam for 30-60 min. subject to steam again

Boiling

100 c for 30 min. disenfect

Dry Heat

moderate to high temp.


dehydration alters protein structure


Incineration



Thermal Death Time (TDT)

Shortest time to kill all microbes


63-66 c


71.6 c for 15 sec (flash)



Microbiostatic Refrigerator

slows growth of microbes


0-15 c for refrigerator


<0 for freezing

Germicidal catigories

1. Halogens: Iodine, chlorine bleach, sodium hyper-chloride, natures protein


2. phenolics: Break cell wall, effect protein, bacteria, fungi, viral, NO SPORES


3. Chlorhexidine: strong disinfectant, used on skin, scrubs, burns, effect protein


4. Alcohols: Ethel, Issopropal, dissolve cell membrane, effect protein


5. Hydrogen Peroxide: week, damage protein, produce O2 gas, H2O2


6. Detergents/ Soaps: effect cell membranes of bacteria and fungi. Mechanically remove sail & grease containing microbes


7. Heavy Metal: solution of silver & mercury kills microbes & their proteins. Silver, Gold, Mercury


8. Aldehydes: formaldehyde, Disinfectant/preservative very toxic


formalin: replaced formaldehyde


Glutaraldehyde=cydex

How antibiotics effect the cell

Against life


produce from fungi or bacteria. man made


1. inhibition of cell wall synthesis


2. disruption of cell membrane structure & function


3. inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis


4. inhibition of protein synthesis


5. blocks key metabolic pathways

Spectrum of antibiotic Drugs


Narrow VS. Broad

Spectrum: range activity of a drug


gram+ or gram- NOT BOTH




Narrow spectrum: Effective on a small range of microbes


EX. Target specific component found only in certain microbes




Broad Spectrum: greatest range of activity target cell components common to most pathogens


EX. Gram+ and Gram- both can be used


choramphenical


Tetracycline


Sulfonimides

Penicillin

can be synthesized in lab


man made


more economical to obtain natural penicillin form mold

Cephalosporins

majority of all antibiotics


Isolated from cephalosporium acremonium molds


GENERIC: Cef, Ceph, Kef

Tetracycline

broad spectrum, block protein synthesis by binding ribosomes


low cost oral drugs


Aureomycin, Terramycin, Tetracycline, Doxycycline, minocycline


Treatment for : STD, Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, lymph disease, typhus, acne, protozoa

Chloramphenical


Erythromycin

isolated form streptomyces venezuelar


no longer derived from natural souses


Potent broad spectrum drug with unique nitro benzine structure


comes from mold


low toxicity

Drug Resistance

use to much


indiscriminate


misuse of script


food sources : antibiotic in meat

Effects

5% experience serious adverse reaction


damage to tissue due to toxicity of drug


allergic reaction


description in the balance of normal flora-super infection possible

Treating Fungal infection

Nustatin- Kills yeast


Griseofulvin- Kills skin infections

Antiviral Chemotherapeutic Agent

selective toxicity: intraccellular paracytes block penetration of host wall


block transcription or translation of viral genetic material


AZT Thymine impostor


Relemzat, Tamiflu: effect enzymes
