University of San Agustin - Iloilo City College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology - Pharmacy Department TERMINOLOGIES ANTISEPTIC are compounds that kill (-cidal) or prevent the growth (-static) of microorganisms when applied to living tissue. University of San Agustin - Iloilo City College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology - Pharmacy Department TERMINOLOGIES ANTISEPTIC are compounds that kill (-cidal) or prevent the growth (-static) of microorganisms when applied to living tissue. DISINFECTANTS are agents that prevents transmission of infection by the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms when applied to inanimate objects. University of San Agustin - Iloilo City College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology - Pharmacy Department STANDARDS FOR REMOVING PChem 4 MICROORGANISMS ANTISEPSIS 01 Application of an agent to living tissue for the purpose of preventing infection. DECONTAMINATION 02 Destruction or marked reduction in the number or activity of microorganisms. University of San Agustin - Iloilo City College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology - Pharmacy Department STANDARDS FOR REMOVING PChem 4 MICROORGANISMS DISINFECTION 03 Chemical or physical treatment that destroys most vegetative microbes or viruses, but not spores, in or on inanimate surfaces. SANITIZATION 04 Reduction of microbial load on an inanimate surface to a level considered acceptable for public health purposes. University of San Agustin - Iloilo City College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology - Pharmacy Department STANDARDS FOR REMOVING PChem 4 MICROORGANISMS STERILIZATION 05 A process intended to kill or remove all types of microorganisms, including spores, and usually including viruses with an acceptably low probability of survival. PASTEURIZATION 06 A process that kills nonsporulating microorganisms by hot water or steam at 65°C–100°C. ALCOHOLS University of San Agustin - Iloilo City College of Pharmacy and Medical Technology - Pharmacy Department ALCOHOLS Alcohols are molecules containing the hydroxy functional group (-OH) that is bonded to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. The hydroxy functional group strongly contributes to the physical properties of alcohols.
