Application of an agent to living tissue
for the purpose of preventing infection
Antisepsis
Destruction or marked reduction in the
number of activity of microorganisms
Decontamination
Chemical or physical treatment that
destroys most vegetative microbes or
viruses, but nut spores, in or on
inanimate surfaces
Disinfection
Reduction of microbial load on an
inanimate surface to a level considered
acceptable for public health purposes
Sanitation

types of microorganisms, including
spores, and usually including viruses
with an acceptably low probability of
survival
