Control of microorganisms by physical and chemical agents
frequently used terms• Sterilization: the process by which all living cells, viable spores, virus,
and viroids are either destroyed or removed from an object or habitat.• Disinfection: the killing, inhibition, or removal of microorganisms tha
t may cause disease.• Sanitization: the microbial population is reduced to levels that are con
sidered safe by public health standards.• Antisepsis: the prevention of infection or sepsis• -cide: kill; -static: stop germicide: kill pathogens but not necessarily endospores. Bactericide;
fungicide; algicide; viricide; bacteriostatic; fungistatic

Conditions influencing the effectiveness of antimicrobial agent activity
• 1. Population size.• 2. Population composition. Spore, young/mature• 3. Concentration or intensity of an antimicrobial agent.• 4. Duration of exposure.• 5. Temperature. higher• 6. local environment. eg. 1. Heat kill more readily at an acid pH. 2. Organic matter protect microorganisms. 3. Biofilm protection.

Microbial Growth Control
• Physical ways– Heat sterilization (including autoclave
and pasteurization)– Radiation (microwaves, UV, X-rays,
-rays and electrons)– Filtration (depth filter, membrane
filter and nucleation track (nucleopore) filter)

Heat(terms)
• TDP: the lowest temperature at which a microbial suspension is killed in 10 minutes.
• TDT: the shortest time needed to kill all organisms in a microbial suspension at a specific temperature and under defined conditions.
• Decimal reduction time (D) or D value: the time required to kill 90% of the microorganisms or spores in a sample at a specified temperature. D121

Moist heat sterilization• Autoclave: a device somewhat like a fancy
pressure cooker.• The air initially present is forced out the chamber
is filled with saturated stream • 121oC or 15 pounds 15-30min 1. All air must be flushed out of the chamber, or it
will not reach 121oC even though it may reach pressure of 15 pounds.
2. The chamber should not be packed too tightly.

Pasteurization
• Milk, beer, and many other beverages are treated with controlled heating at temperatures well below boiling. Not sterilize, just pasteurized.
• Past : 63oC, 30min• HTST: 72oC, 15sec• UHT: 140-150oC, 1-3sec
![Page 8: Chapter 5 Microbial growth control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56815d88550346895dcb9287/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Dry heat sterilization
• 160-170oC 2-3h• Suitable for glass petri dishes and pipettes• Not suitable for heat-sensitive materials like ma
ny plastic and rubber items.
![Page 9: Chapter 5 Microbial growth control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56815d88550346895dcb9287/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Filtration
• Heat-sensitive solution• Depth filters: diatomaceous; unglazed porcelain.• Membrane filters: membranes with pores about
0.2m in diameter are used to remove most vegetative cells, but not viruses.
• Air: 1. Surgical masks and cotton plugs on culture vessels.
2. Biological safety cabinets.

Radiation
• 1. Ultraviolet radiation: 260nm is quite lethal but does not penetrate glass, dirt films, water and other substances.
uv lamps: the ceilings of rooms biological safety cabinets attention! uv lamp must be off • 2 . Ionizing radiation: not always as effective against
viruses. Co60: cold sterilization for antibiotics, hormones, sut
ures.

Microbial Growth Control• Chemical ways (germicides)
– Agents that kill organisms are often called cidal agents (bactericidal, fungicidal and viricidal agents)
– Agents that do not kill but only inhibit growth are called static agents (bacteriostatic, fungistatic, and viristatic agents)
– Disinfectants are chemicals that kill microorganisms and are used on inanimate objects
– Antiseptics are chemical agents that kill or inhibit growth of microorganisms and that are sufficiently nontoxic to be applied to living tissues.

Ideal disinfectant • 1. Must be effective against a wide variety of
infectious agents at high dilutions and in the presence of organic matter.

materials.• 3. Odorless or with a pleasant odor, soluble in
water and low surface tension.• 4. Relatively inexpensive

Evaluation of antimicrobial agent effectiveness
• The phenol coefficient test:• The test bacteria: Salmonella typhi Staphylococcus aureus a series of dilutions of phenol and the experimental disinfe
ctant. bacteria + agent; 5min, 10min, 15min; subculture to fresh
medium, respectively; incubate 2-3 days. The highest dilutions that kill the bacteria after a 10mins ex
posure, but not after 5mins, are used to calculate the phenol coefficient.
phenol coefficient =disinfect max dilution/phenol max dilution
If >1: more effective than phenol

Microbial Growth Control:Chemotherapeutic agents
• Chemotherapeutic agents: to be used internally for control of infectious disease, they must have selective toxicity, these include:
– Growth factor analog:• Sulfa drugs (磺胺药 )• Amino acid analogs• Vitamin analogs• DNA base, RNA base analogs
![Page 21: Chapter 5 Microbial growth control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56815d88550346895dcb9287/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chemotherapeutic agents: Antibiotics
• Antibiotics are chemical substances produced by certain microorganisms that inhibit and kill other microorganisms, they are natural products rather than synthetic chemicals– Gram-positive bacteria are usually more sensitive to Gram-nega
tive bacteria– In bacteria, the important targets of antibiotic action are the cell
wall, the cytoplasmic membrane and the biosynthetic processes of protein and nucleic acid synthesis
-lactam (内酰胺 ) group, which includes the penicillins and related compounds, has major clinical significance
