Across
  1. 2. decreases microbial loads on fomites (heat or chemicals)
  2. 3. decreases microbial loads on living tissues (hand washing)
  3. 5. reduction time how much time it takes to kill 90% (1 log reduction) of the population.
  4. 8. items used inside the body must be sterile.
  5. 9. items that doesn't penetrate intact skin doesn't require sterilization.
  6. 13. removes microbes from living tissue
  7. 15. Biosafety level for highly dangerous pathogens. Full biohazard suits are required.
  8. 16. kill microbes
Down
  1. 1. items that contacts non-sterile tissue but doesn't penetrate tissue doesn't require a high level sterilization.
  2. 4. Death curve displays logarithm decline of living microbes exposed to a method of microbial control.
  3. 6. inactivate of microbes on fomites.
  4. 7. stops microbial growth
  5. 10. completely kills or remove microbes from fomite.
  6. 11. technique prevents a sterile environment from being contaminated.
  7. 12. little risk. Pathogens doesn't cause infections in healthy individuals.
  8. 14. Moderate risk to workers and environment. Must have an autoclave or sterilization method.
  9. 15. potential to cause lethal infections by inhalation.
