Theory Ch 16 Preventing Infection Part 1.

4. a work area free of all pathogens and non-pathogens (including spores)
7. the process of destroying all microbes
9. processes, procedures, and chemical treatments that kill microbes or prevent them from causing an infection.
11. a human or animal that is a reservoir for microbes but does not develop the infection.
13. practices used to reduce the number of microbes and prevent their spread from 1 person or place to another person or place, clean technique
15. the absence of all microbes
17. giving a vaccine to produce immunity against an infectious disease
18. the absence (a)of disease-producing microbes; sepsis means infection
19. a microbe that is harmful and can cause an infection
20. a bacterium protected by a hard shell
21. the process of becoming unclean
22. a carrier (animal,insect) that transmits disease
23. passing microbes from 1 person to another by contaminated hands, equipment, or supplies
25. a disease state resulting from the invasion and growth of microbes in the body
26. microbes that live and grow in a certain area

1. any substance that transmits microbes
2. a liquid chemical that can kill many or all pathogens except spores
3. infection that develops in a person cared for, in any setting where health care is given; the infection is related to receiving health care
5. the process of killing pathogens
6. protection against a certain diease
8. a small (micro) living thing (organism) seen only with a microscope
10. practices and procedures that prevent the spread of infection
12. a preparation containing dead or weakened microbes.
14. practices used to remove all microbes; sterile technique
16. drug that kills certain microbes that cause infection
24. microbe that does not usually cause an infection
