Allergy
Reaction due to extreme sensitivity to certain foods chemicals or other normally harmless substances
Antiseptics
Chemical germicide formulated for use on skin registered and regulated by the FDA
Aseptic procedures
A process of properly handling sterilized and disinfected equipment and supplies to reduce contamination
Asymptomatic
Showing no symptoms or signs of infection
Autoclave
A device for sterilization by steam under pressure
Bacilli
Short rod shaped bacteria they are most common bacteria and produce diseases such as tetanus lockjaw typhoid fever tuberculosis and Diphtheria.
Bacteria singular bacterium
One celled microorganisms that have both plant and animal characteristics some are harmful some are harmless
Bactericidal
Capable of destroying bacteria
Binary fission
The division of bacteria cells in to two new cells call daughter cells
Bioburden
The number of viable organisms in or on an object or surface or the organic material on the surface or object before decontamination or sterilization
Blood-borne pathogen’s
Disease causing micro organisms carried in the body by blood or body fluids such as hepatitis and HIV
Body substance isolation
Abbreviated BSI a system or precautions developed by Seattle hospital in 1987 to prevent contact with bodily substances and fluids by using Protektor apparel to prevent the spread of communicable disease
Chelating soaps
Also known as chelating detergents detergents that breakdown stubborn films and remove the residue of products such as scrubs salt and masks
Clean
Also known as cleaning a mechanical process scrubbing using soap and water or detergent and water to remove all visible dirt debris’s and many disease causing germs cleaning also removes invisible to debris that interferes with this disinfection

Disinfectants
Chemical products that destroy all bacteria fungi and viruses but not spores on surfaces
Disinfection
Also known as disinfecting the process eliminates most but not necessarily all micro organisms on nonporous surfaces this process is not effective against bacterial spores
Efficacy
The ability to produce an effect
Exposure incident
Contact with non-intact broken skin blood body fluid or other potentially infectious materials that is the result of the performance of an employees duties
Flagella
Also known as Cilia slender hair-like extensions used by a bacilli and spirilla for locomotion moving about
