-hydrophilic non enveloped are least, partially lipophilic non enveloped more sensitive, enveloped-retro, herpes, paramyxo- most sensitive
T or F
Quaternary ammonia is a denaturant
T
acts by disrupting protein and lipid structures (alcohols and phenols are also denaturants, best choice against lipophilic enveloped viruses
Name 2 types of disinfectants that are considered reactants
aldehyde, and ethylene oxide
-form and break covalent bonds altering DNA, RNA and protein synthesis
Halogens such as hypochlorites, chlorine dioxide and iodine, and peroxides are considered what type of disinfectant

initially used in 1949
liquid monomers
T or F
Short-chain cyanoacrylates(SCCA) are available only as non-pharmaceutical grade products
T
they were determined to be toxic, and re-formualted to Long-chain (LCCA). Some PI still like SCCA better so justification and approval must be given to use them in live animals (USDA policy 3). This study showed that SCCA limit bone regeneration

Cephalosporins undergo renal excretion therefore they are a good choice for UTI
T
renal excretion leads to high concentrations in the urine
