Crossword CPA #15 Flashcards
ie. type of compound used for embalming and disinfecting hospital rooms; high level of microbial control
aldehyde
ie. lysosome; high level of specific microbial control
enzyme
first microbial agent
arsenic
procedure that ensures no pathogen contamination
aseptic
type of drug; completely created in a lab
synthetic
lab safety level; HEPA filters are required; ie. lab that works on TB, anthrax, yellow fever, or RMSF
BSL 3
lab safety level; gloves are required; ie. lab that works on hepatitis, influenza, or MRSA
BSL 2
types of drugs that work on many different pathogens
broad spectrum
level of germicide that kills endospores
high
lab safety level; hand washing is sufficient; ie. lab that works with E. coli
BSL 1
this inhibits microbe growth when you use a lot of sugar or salt on food to preserve it
osmotic pressure
removes all microbes on an object
sterilization
drugs that can act against disease
chemotherapeutic agents
lab safety level; “space suits” are required; ie. lab that works on Ebola or smallpox
BSL 4
level of germicide that kills several types of microbes but not endospores or protozoan cysts
low
drug that only acts against bacteria
antibiotic
type of drug; naturally occurring but is modified in the lab before administration
semisynthetic
person who discovered the first antimicrobial agent
Ehrlich
level of germicide that kills most pathogens such as protozoan cysts but not endospores
intermediate
process of removing all liquids to preserve food
desiccation
suffix used to describe an agent that kills microbes
cidal
person who discovered the third antimicrobial agent
Domagk
chemical used to inhibit/destroy microbes on an object
disinfectant
ie. antibiotics; intermediate to low level of microbial control
antimicrobials
using temperatures higher than boiling and high pressure to sterilize liquids without evaporation of the liquids, etc.
autoclaving
scrubbing microbe off a surface
degerming
third antimicrobial discovered; the first antimicrobial to be widespread
sulfanilamide
the second most resistant pathogen to antimicrobials
endospores
ie. soap or detergent; low level control
surfactant
method approved by FDA for microbial control in meats, spices, fresh fruits, and veggies
gamma rays
procedure that uses brief heat to kill microbes in food/beverages
pasteurization
process of removing all liquid from bacteria pellet for long term preservation at freezing temp.
lyophilization
ie. iodine, chlorine, or fluorine; intermediate level microbial
halogen
ie. zinc, copper, etc. ; low level microbial control
heavy metals
chemical used on human tissue to minimize pathogens
antiseptic
suffix used to describe an agent that inhibits microbial growth
static
ie. ethanol; intermediate microbial control
alcohol
second microbial agent discovered; agent not available in large enough quantities to be widely used
penecillin
person who discovered the second antimicrobial agent
Fleming
when an antimicrobial agent is more toxic to the pathogen than the host
selective toxicity
occurs when proteins are put in high temp environments
denatures
process in which different sized pores can help you separate different sized microbes
filtration
ie. hydrogen peroxide; high level of microbe control
oxidizing agent
procedure that minimizes pathogens on human tissue
antisepsis
disinfection procedures in public places
sanitization
process that includes gamma rays or U.V.
radiation
