Control of microbes
Physical and chemical methods to destroy or reduce microbes in a given
area
![Page 4: Physical and Chemical Control of Micro](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/55522ebcb4c905b00e8b46d1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Relative resistance of microbes• Highest resistance
– Bacterial endospores
• Moderate resistance– Pseudomonas sp.– Mycobacterium tuberculosis– Staphylococcus aureus– Protozoan cysts
• Least resistance– most vegetative cells– Fungal spores– enveloped viruses– Yeast– Protozoan trophozoites
![Page 5: Physical and Chemical Control of Micro](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/55522ebcb4c905b00e8b46d1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Terms
• Sterilization – a process that destroys all viable microbes, including viruses & endospores
• Disinfection – a process to destroy vegetative pathogens, not endospores
• Sanitization – any cleansing technique that mechanically removes microbes
• Degermation – reduces the number of microbes
![Page 6: Physical and Chemical Control of Micro](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/55522ebcb4c905b00e8b46d1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Microbial death
• Involves permanent loss of reproductive capability, even under optimum growth conditions
![Page 7: Physical and Chemical Control of Micro](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/55522ebcb4c905b00e8b46d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Factors that influence action of antimicrobial agents:
1. Number of microbes
2. Nature of microbes in the population
3. Temperature & pH of environment

Practical concerns
• Does the application require sterilization?• Is the item to be reused?• Can the item withstand heat, pressure, radiation, or
chemicals?• Is the method suitable?• Will the agent penetrate to the necessary extent?• Is the method cost- and labor-efficient & is it safe?

1. HeatMoist heat – use of hot water or steam• Mode of action – denaturation of proteins, destruction of
membranes & DNA• sterilization • autoclave 15 psi/121oC/10-40min• intermittent sterilization – unpressurized steam at 100oC
30-60 min for 3 days• disinfection• Pasteurization <100oC for seconds; kills Salmonella,
Listeria & overall microbe count• Boiling at 100oC for 30 minutes to destroy non-spore-
forming pathogens

Dry heat using higher temperatures than moist heat, can also sterilize
• incineration – 600-1200oC combusts & dehydrates cells
• dry ovens – 150-180oC- coagulate proteins

2. Cold temperatures
• Microbistatic – slows the growth of microbes
• refrigeration 0-15oC & freezing <0oC
• used to preserve food, media and cultures
![Page 19: Physical and Chemical Control of Micro](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/55522ebcb4c905b00e8b46d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

3. Desiccation
• gradual removal of water from cells, leads to metabolic inhibition
• not effective microbial control – many cells retain ability to grow when water is reintroduced
![Page 20: Physical and Chemical Control of Micro](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/55522ebcb4c905b00e8b46d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

4. Radiation1. Ionizing radiation – deep penetrating power,
breaks DNA,– gamma rays, X-rays, cathode rays– used to sterilize medical supplies & food products
2. Nonionizing radiation – little penetrating power to sterilize air, water & solid surfaces
– uv light creates thymine pyrmidines, which interfere with replication
