- 4. items become contaminated if they get in contact with items that are not sterile
- 7. an optical instrument that is used to observe tiny objects, often objects that cannot be seen at all with the unaided human eye (the “naked eye”).
- 10. basic unit used in metric system
- 11. a thin film of a solution of microbes on a slide
- 12. the study of microorganisms
- 15. protection from disease provided by vaccination or by recovery from the disease itself
- 16. is when 2 antimicrobial agents are used together to produce a degree of pathogen killing that is greater than that achieved by either drug alone.
- 19. Commonly called "rubbing alcohol" or Isopropyl Alcohol
- 21. are solutions used to disinfect skin and other living tissues
- 23. site of protein synthesis
- 24. denotes contact of a sterile or aseptic item with microorganisms.
- 27. is the complete destruction of all microbes, including cells, spores, and viruses
- 28. The mechanical removal of microbes from a limited area
- 30. the study of protozoa and parasitic worms
- 32. The process where physical or chemical means are used to remove inactivate, or destroy pathogens on surface or item making them safe for handling or use and incapable of transmitting infectious germs.

- 10. the study of fungi
- 13. inhibits peptide bridges in peptidoglycan
- 14. is the destruction or removal of pathogens from non-living objects by physical or chemical methods; pasteurization is an example of a disinfection technique
