17
Q

low temps kill MOs by

A
  • inhibits growth -bacteriostatic

- kill MO by freezing - thaw procedure

18
Q

types of radiation used

A

ionizing radiation (x ray, gamma ray)

  • high energy, short wavelength
  • causes splitting of molecules
  • radical formed and react with DNA and proteins
  • penetrate packages material

non ionizing (UV light)

  • causes mutations (DNA absorbs at 260 nm and thymine dimers form that cause the mutation)
  • can not penetrate well (only surfaces and air)
19
Q

three types of filtration and what they do

A

depth filters
-diatomaceous earth, porcelain

membrane filters

  • cellulose, synthetic
  • variety pore size (.2 um)
  • use vacuum or pressure

air filtration

  • masks, cotton plugs
  • Laminar flow biological safety cabinet
    • high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters
20
Q
  • bacteriostatic

- drying, adding sugar, freeze drying

A

dessication

21
Q

evaluation methods of chemical agents

A
  • phenol coefficient with Staph. aureus (gram +) and Salmonella typhi (gram -)
  • filter paper disk diffusion method
  • use dilution tests
22
Q

types of phenolic chemical agents

A
  • phenol
  • lysol
  • hexachlorophene
  • trichlosan
23
Q
  • standard, 5% kills vegetative cells

- toxic, unpleasant odor

A

phenol

24
Q

-soap and orthophenyl phenol, remain active

A

lysol

25
Q
  • halogenated phenol
  • very affective against Staph. aureus
  • causes nerve damage
A

hexachlorophene

26
Q
  • 2 joined phenol rings
  • affective against many bacteria
  • caused indirectly selective resistance to MO
A

trichlosan

27
Q

types of chemical agents

A 
phenolics
alcohols
halogens
ethylene oxide
glutaraldehyde
28
Q
  • 70-90% kill vegetative cells, enveloped viruses
  • quick action but evaporates
  • ethyl alcohol/ isopropyl alcohol
A

alcohols

29
Q

example of alcohol

A

instant hand sanitizer

-must have on hands fro 15 seconds fro it to be effective and work without touching anything

30
Q

types of halogen chemical agents

A

iodine
chlorine
chemical sterilants

31
Q
  • very effective- amoeba, fungi, viruses, most bacteria
  • surgical scrub
  • water/ vegetative treatment
A

iodine

32
Q

types of iodine used for cleaning surgical scrubs

A

Betadine and Isodine

33
Q
  • kills most bacteria and many viruses at low [ ] (0.5%)
  • most widely used
  • pools, municipal water, house hold, food industry
A

chlorine

34
Q
  • organic matter interferes with action
  • inexpensive, easy to use
  • most widely used chemical agent
A

halogens

35
Q
  • for heat sensitive materials

- alkylating agents- carcinogenic

A

chemical sterilants

36
Q
  • gas
  • penetrates cloth and some plastics
  • slow acting (10hrs), requires precise control
  • flammable and toxic
  • used extensively for lab supplies, tubing, catheters
  • no residues left behind, don’t usually use for liquids
A

ethylene oxide

37
Q

advantages and disadvantages of ethylene oxide

A

A-penetrates cloth and some plastics
-no residues left behind, don’t usually use for liquids

D-slow acting (10hrs)
-requires precise control

38
Q

2% solution, 10 hour exposure

A

glutaraldehyde

39
Q

how would you sterilize a hormone solution?

A

filtration

40
Q

type of synthesis for the following:

  • penecillin
  • sulfa drugs
  • chloramphenicol
  • rifamycin
A
  • penecillin- peptidoglycan synthesis
  • sulfa drugs- folic acid synthesis
  • chloramphenicol- protein synthesis
  • rifamycin- mRNA synthesis
