Presentation Transcript

  1. Disinfection and Sterilization

  2. Sterilization and disinfection Disinfection The process that reduces the number of pathogenic microorganisms. Bacterial spores and other relatively resistant organisms may remain viable. Sterilization a treatment that destroys all microbial life, including vegetative form and endospores Bacteriostasis to inhibit the growth of bacteria

  3. Antisepsis:A chemical agent safely used in or on living tissue to destroy microorganisms. Asepsis:a condition in which living microorganisms are absent. Aseptic techniques:measures taken to ensure that living microorganisms are absent.

  4. METHODS • Physical methods of disinfection and sterilization • Chemical methods of disinfection and sterilization

  5. Section 2 Physical controls on microoganisms for disinfections and sterilization

  6. Including: • Heat • Cold • Drying • Radiation • Filtration • Osmotic strength

  7. Dry heat Hot air sterilization • Flaming Incineration Hot air sterilization Conditions 160-170℃, 1-2hrs Significance & applications glassware, metal objects

  8. Moist heat Moist heat Boiling water Autoclaving Pasteurization

  9. burning method(incineration) flowing steam disinfection boiling water disinfection hot air drying method(烤箱)

  10. Moist heat • Pasteurization Definition: a process in which fluids are heated at temperatures below boiling point to kill pathogenic microorganisms in the vegetative state without altering the fluid’s palatability. Conditions: 62℃, 30min or 71.7℃, 15sec Significance: kills vegetative pathogens Applications: milk, beer

  11. Boiling: • 100℃ at 1 atmospheric pressure • 5min killing most non-sporing bacteria • For 1-2h will kill a few sporing microoganisms • 2% sodium carbonate can enhance the efficiency ,105 ℃(the boiling point)

  12. Steam sterillization with common pressure:It applies water vapor to disinfect 100℃ for 15～30min, not useful for spore • Fractional sterilization:It takes water vapor intermittently to sterilization at common pressure.it usually applies to medium containing sugar or milk,which cannot bear high temperature

  13. Autoclaving Conditions: When pressure is 102.97~137.30kpa, the temperature in the autoclave can reach 121ºc, 15~20 minutes is enough for sterilization

  14. Significance: kills both spores and vegetative microorganisms the most common and effective method of sterilization Application: sterilizes materials not damaged by heat and moisture

  15. Comparison • Moist heat is generally more effective than dry heat • Reasons Steam is more easily to inactivate proteins. (H bonds) Steam penetrates more easily. Steam has potent heat.

  16. Radiation • Ultraviolet radiation The most effective wavelengths: 250-260nm Mechanism: destroy DNA by forming thymine dimers Characteristics: poor penetrating power damage of the eyes and the skin Applications: Air disinfections Surface disinfection

  17. Filtration • Mechanism mechanically removes microorganisms • Application sterilize materials likely to be damaged by heat

  19. Chemical antimicrobial methods • Mechanisms Injury of cell membranes Inactivation of proteins (e.g., enzymes ) Damage of genetic materials

  20. Chemical antimicrobial methods • Common chemical agents Phenol Soaps and detergents Alcohols: 70-75% Heavy metals: Silver nitrate (1%) Chlorine Iodine Aldehydes: 37% Formalin Dyes: crystal violet

  21. The effects types of disinfectants

  22. Factors influencing antimicrobial activity • the concentration and kind of an agent used • the length of exposure to the agent • the temperature at which the agent is used • the number of microorganisms present • the kinds of microorganisms present • the nature of the material bearing the microorganism

  23. Biological methods • Antibiotic • Bacteriocin • Bacteriophage

  24. Question: What is the Mechanisms of the Chemical antimicrobial methods Some question TERMS EXPLAINATION: Sterilization 、 disinfection、Bacteriostasis、Antisepsis Asepsis、 Aseptic techniques
