A sterilizer is something which sterilizes, so by definition no. However, alcoholic spirits, or to a some extent extreme heat, may just about do the trick if you don't have clinical medical sterilizer. Also if you submerge the needle in spirits and lite it with a flame it will sterilize the needle.
Are bacteria present in fire?
Most bacteria cannot survive temperatures that high. That is why a flame is used to sterilize the needles and wire loops used to pick up samples in microbiology experiments so the growth media the sample is spread onto won't be contaminated by microorganisms that were not part of the sample. Flames are also sometimes used to sterilize needles used to remove splinters or thorns to prevent introducing bacteria under the skin making an infection.
