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. / inactivation/kill 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.
