Physical & Chemical Control of Microbes
Across
- 5. a small volume of the liquid chemical is diluted in a larger volume of solvent to achieve a certain ratio
- 8. is the reduction of the number of microbes on the human skin
- 10. are chemical agents applied directly to exposed body surfaces, wounds and surgical incisions to prevent vegetative pathogens
- 11. is the cleansing technique that mechanically removes microorganisms
- 12. vegetative cells directly exposed to normal room temperature gradually and become dehydrated
- 13. are agents that prevent fungal growth
Down
- 1. is an agent capable of destroying bacterial endospores
- 2. is the process that destroys or remove all viable microorganisms
- 3. is Physical process or a chemical agent to destroy vegetative pathogens but not bacterial endospores
- 4. a combination of freezing and drying, preserves microorganisms in a viable state for many years
- 6. is the energy emitted from atomic activities and dispersed at high velocity trough matter or space
- 7. are killing agents depending on how they are used
- 9. is the chemical that destroys bacteria expect for endospores
- 11. is the growth of microorganisms in the blood and other tissues
- 14. any practice that prevent the entry of infectious agent into sterile tissues and thus prevent infection
