Question
Answer
microbial contamination (possibly life-threatening)   Sepsis  
🗑
absence of significant contamination   Asepsis  
🗑
prevents microbial contamination (ex: in a lab or during surgery)   Aseptic techniques  
🗑
removing all microbial life including all endospores   Sterilization  
🗑
removing pathogens from inanimate objects   Disinfection  
🗑
removing pathogens from living tissue, especially wounded tissue   Antisepsis  
🗑
removing microbes from a limited area, especially not wounded part   Degermation  
🗑
any cleansing technique that mechanically removes microbes   Sanitization  
🗑
What are you accomplishing if you apply 5% bleach to an examining table?   disinfection  
🗑
What are you accomplishing if you handwash with soap?   sanitization  
🗑
What are you accomplishing if you are performing surgical handscrub?   degermation  
🗑
what are Microbicidal agents?   biocide, germicide  
🗑
what are examples of microbistatic agents?   bacteriostatic agent, fungistatic agent  
🗑
Many antibiotics are what kind of agents?   microbistatic agents  
🗑
What is the death in microorganisms?   microbials die at a constant rate (6 min)  
🗑
chemical concentration x exposure time=   CT value  
🗑
-alteration of membrane permeability -damage to proteins -damage to nucleic acids   Actions of Microbial Control Agents  
🗑
-Heat -Low temps., high pressure, desiccation, and osmotic pressure -filtration -radiation   physical methods of microbial control  
🗑
Disinfection or sterilization? Boiling at 100 degrees C for 30 min to destroy non-spore-forming pathogens   disinfection  
🗑
steam under pressure -steam must contact the item's surface -more effective than boiling water: kill endospores   Autoclave  
🗑
-reduces spoilage organisms and pathogens -applied to milk or beer   Pasteurization  
🗑
Demonstrated that life did not arise spontaneously from nonliving matter   Louis Pasteur  
🗑
showed that microbes are responsible for fermentation   Pasteur  
🗑
the conversion of sugar to alcohol to make beer and wine   Fermentation  
🗑
found that yeast ferment sugars to alcohol and that bacteria can oxidize the alcohol to acetic acid   Pasteur  
🗑
responsible for spoilage of food   microbial growth  
🗑
heating process that is used to kill bacteria in some alcoholic beverages and milk   Pasteurization  
🗑
Dry heat: -flaming -inceneration -hot-air sterilization   Dry heat sterilization  
🗑
physical removal of microbes by passing a gas or liquid through filter   Filtration  
🗑
physical method of microbial control that inhibits microbial growth   Low temperature  
🗑
Physical method of microbial control that prevents metabolism   Desiccation  
🗑
Physical method of microbial control that causes plasmolysis   Osmotic pressure  
🗑
High what can kill microorganisms?   energy radiations  
🗑
little penetrating power so it must be directly exposed   Nonionizing radiation  
🗑
what disrupts plasma membranes?   Phenol and Phenolics  
🗑
not rarely used as an antiseptic or disinfectant   phenol  
🗑
the gold standard of disinfectants and other disinfectants are often compared to to rate their effectiveness   Phenol  
🗑
Hexachlorophene, triclosan (found in hand soap) -disrupt plasma membranes   Bisphenols  
🗑
-disrupts plasma membranes -is not absorbed into the skin -used as skin degerming agents for preoperative scrubs, skin cleaning, and burns   Chlorhexidine  
🗑
Iodine -Alter protein synthesis and membranes -Tinctures: In aqueous alcohol -Iodophors: in organic molecules, iodine is released slowly, betadine Chlorine   Halogens  
🗑
Ethanol, isopropanol -denature proteins, dissolve lipids   Alcohols  
🗑
What % of ethanol is more effective than 100%?   70%  
🗑
-sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and calcium propionate -inhibit metabolism -control molds and bacteria in foods and cosmetics -safe   Organic acids  
🗑
prevents botulism endospore germination but produces the carcinogen nitrosamines   Nitrate or nitrite  
🗑
-sterilant -Formaldehyde, formalin, and glutaraldehyde -inactivate proteins by cross-linking with functional groups -use: medical equipment, embalming by morticians   Aldehydes  
🗑
do not have much direct effect on microorganisms, and bacteria can readily be isolated from the interior of recently operated microwave ovens   microwaves  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
