24
Q

factors affecting microbial growth

A
  1. type of organism
  2. microbial load
  3. concentration of agents to be used
  4. presence of organic material
  5. nature of surface to be disinfected
  6. contact time
  7. temp and pH
  8. compatibility of disinfectants
25
Q

refers to the absence of microbes in an area or object.

A

asepsis

26
Q

refers to methods employed to prevent entry of organisms into the body as well into test tubes, flasks, or plates used in microbial cultivation.

A

aseptic technique

27
Q

involves chemical disinfection of living tissues (i.e. mucus membrane, skin) as well as in the treatment of wounds. The chemical agent employed is called antiseptic

A

ANTISEPSIS

28
Q

a condition in which microbial growth and multiplication is halted or inhibited. The microorganisms is not killed or destroyed in the process. Bacteriostatic methods include the use of refrigeration as well as dyes.

A

bacteriostasis

29
Q

microorganisms inadvertently introduced to specimens or bacterial culture.

A

contaminant

30
Q

the process of removal of pathogenic microorganisms so materials/items are safe to handle or dispose.

A

DECONTAMINATION

31
Q

removal of transient microorganisms from the skin using mechanical cleansing or antiseptics.

A

demerging

32
Q

process of destruction of pathogenic microorganisms except spores, prions and other microorganisms.

A

DISINFECTION

33
Q

destruction of all forms of life including bacterial spores.

A

STERILIZATION

34
Q

lowest temperature in which all bacteria in a liquid culture will be killed in 10 minutes

A

thermal death point

35
Q

minimal length of time in which all bacteria in a liquid suspension will be killed at a given temperature

A

thermal death time

36
Q

Factors influencing the degree of killing

A
  1. types of organisms
  2. number of organisms
    concentration or compatibility of disinfectant
  3. presence of organic material
  4. nature of surface to be disinfected
  5. contact time
  6. temperature
  7. pH
  8. biofilm
