What is the medical significance of Bacterial spores?
Bacterial spores are far more resistant to disinfectants than non-spore forming bacteria. As a result, bacterial spores are more virulent and therefore more capable of causing disease since they can survive most methods that kill 'normal' bacteria...
What is the most resistant form of life?
Granites are one of the most weather resistant rocks.
How do these capsule and spores defenses affect the infection control measures that you need to take in a clinic?
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant and can survive most forms of disinfection and inadequate sterilisations
What resistant forms of bacteria are produced by gram positive bacilli of the most dangerous disease bacteria?
Your question is not clear. Do you mean do some Gram + bacilli produce resistant forms. If so, you are thinking of those bacteria that produce endospores. They form these when the environment becomes hash and unlivable for them. Most studies have been with Bacillus subtilitus and Clostridium. These four Clostridium have clinical interest because of the diseases they cause: C. botulinum, C. difficile, C. perfringens and C. tetani.B. subtilitus is not really a pathogen but is now considered a normal gut bacteria.
How do you kill microbes?
Microbes can be killed using anti-microbial chemicals like bleach or Lysol. Heat is also an effective method of killing most microscopic organisms.
Why are microbial forms are the most resistant to disinfectants?
ssa
Which group of microorganisms have the property of highly resistant endospores under certain growth conditions?
Group C. I'm in microbiology right now. Group A are vegetative forms of most bacteria and enveloped viruses that are easily killed by disinfectants. Group B are more difficult to kill, like tuberculosis baccillus and unenveloped viruses. and Group C have highly resistant endospores.
What resistant forms of bacteria are produced by gram resistant bacilli of the most dangerous disease causing bacteria?
endospore
What are different types of disinfectant?
Disinfectants can be classified in two different ways. One is by what type of chemical they are. For example, the active ingredient in Lysol is O-phenylphenol. Phenol and some other disinfecting chemicals are chemically similar. Another way to classify disinfectants is by how many hard-to-kill microbes they are effective against. High level disinfectants can kill most endospore-forming bacteria which tend to be very resistant. There are intermediate level and low level disinfectants as well.
What are the most common disinfectants?
chlorine and alcohol
Against which organism are disinfectants effective?
Disinfectants are effective against vegetative cells and viruses, but not endospores.
Why can't disinfectants used to clean skin?
Disinfectants kill or inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Most disinfectants are too harsh to be applied to living tissue, and are applied only to inanimate surfaces. Ammonia, ethanol, and bleach are examples of widely used disinfectants.
Which disinfectant is most recommended by OSHA?
OSHA does not recommend disinfectants.
Why does sterilization necessary in clinical life?
Sterilization is necessary because there are billions of microbial organisms on everything. Microbial organisms are what cause most illnesses. Sterilization kills these microbial organisms.
Does paper currency have antibacterial protection?
No. In fact, most paper currency is fairly dirty, at least at a microbial level. In any case increased reliance on antibacterial agents in soaps, hand-sanitizers, etc. has backfired by encouraging the survival of the most resistant strains of "bugs".
Why are airplane bodies made out of duralumin?
Because it is stronger and lighter than other alloys, as well as being resistant to most forms of corrosion.
