A

INCINERATION

24
Q

It kills microorganisms by coagulating the protein

A

MOIST HEAT

25
used to sterilize surgical instruments, needles and syringes
BOILING
26
Slows the growth of microorganisms
Refrigeration
27
causes ice crystals to form within the cell and may rupture the cell membrane & cell walls of some bacteria
Slow freezing
28
This is a method of making liquids or gases sterile by permitting them to "filter" or pass through appropriate material.
FILTRATION
29
1. Applied to liquid suspensions 2. ALters of the molecular structures of proteins and CHO 3. Alterations result to the rapid inactivation of vegetative bacterial cells
HIGH PRESSURE
30
resistant to high pressure
ENDOSPORES
31
1. In the absence of water, microorganisms cannot grow or reproduce but can remain viable for years 2. When water becomes available, bacteria resume their growth and division
DESSICATION
32
1. Used in the preservation of foods
OSMOTIC PRESSURE
33
Direct sunlight has a powerful germicidal action
RADIATION
34
For inanimate objects It may temporarily or permaanently inhibit the growth of pathogens
DISINFECTANTS
35
IS USED IN TEACHING LABORATORIES TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF A CHEMICAL AGENT
DISK DIFFUSION METHOD
36
1. For animate preservation of skin tissue 2. Only reduces the number of organisms on the surface of the skin 3. It may also be applied at the site of surgical incision to destroy local microorganisms
ANTISEPTIC
37
Are the chemical products of some organisms which have the ability of inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms
SELECTIVE
38
EXAMPLE OF SELECTIVE
ANTIBIOTICS
39
Microbial control on skin and mucous membranes
Chlorhexidine
40
Disrupt plasma membranes
Biguanides
41
three oxidizing agents
Halogens, Iodine, Chlorine
42
is hypochlorous acid (HOCI) is the most effective form of chlorine because it is electrically neutral
Bleach
43
is effective againts all kinds of bacteria, many endospores, various fungi, and some viruses-impairs protein synthesis and alters cell membranes; available as a tincture or an iodophor
IODINE
44
Oxidizing agents
Peroxygens
45
is often used to supplement chlorine in the disinfection of water because it helps neutralize tastes and odors
Ozone
46
may slow wound healing; effectively disinfects objects such as packing materials and contact lens
Hydrogen peroxide
47
works against anaerobic bacteria
Benzoyl peroxide
