Sterilization and Disinfection
Xiao-Kui Guo PhD
Content
Basic terms and general mechanism Physical agents Chemical agents Affecting factors
Section A
Basic terms and general mechanisms
Basic terms
Sterilization 灭菌 : A physical or chemical process that completely destroys
all microbial life, including spore
Disinfection 消毒 :Only destroy the diseases-producing microorganisms
and the spore are sometimes not included
Bacteriostasis 抑菌 The property that is able to inhibit bacterial multiplication and
the multiplication will resume upon when the inhibition agent is removed.
Antisepsis 防腐 A biocide or production that destroys or inhibits the growth of
microorganisms in or on living tissue
Asepsis 无菌 The absence of pathogen microbes
Basic terms
The general mechanisms
DNA

Damage to DNA
Protein denaturation
Removal of free sulfhydryl groups
Chemical Antagonism
Disruption of cell membrane or wall

Temperature
The growth state of the bacteria
changes with the temperature
Heat Dry heat
Mechanism: the denaturation and coagulation of protein
Methods: Hot air sterilization 干烤 Incineration焚化 red heat赤热 Flaming赤热
Heat Moist heat
Mechanism: as same as dry heat but more effective Autoclaving: 121 ,103℃ .4kPa, 20min
cidal for both vegetative organisms and endospores Boiling water Pasteurization: to kill particular spoilage organisms or
pathogens flash method: 71.7°C, 15~30s holding method: 61.1~62.8 , 30 min℃
The hot stream surrounding the
bodies of bacteria makes the moist
heat a more effective mean for killing
Heat Moist heat
fractional sterilization间歇蒸气灭菌法 Steam heating to 100 °C for 30 min Vegetative cells are destroyed but endospores survive Incubate at 30 °C -37 °C overnight
Most bacterial endospores germinate Second heat treatment, 100 °C, 30 min
Germinated endospores are killed. Second incubation at 30°C-37 °C overnight
Remaining endospores germinate Third heat treatment, 100 °C, 60 min
Last remaining germinated endospores are killed
Radiation Ultraviolet
Mechanism: Ultraviolet leads to the formation of adjacent two thymine to form dimer.
The most effective wavelength is in the 240 to 280nm with the optimum at about 260nm
The thymine-thymine dimer
Even if faces the glass or paper, the Ultraviolet
can not penetrate
Radiation
Ionizing RadiationX-rays and gamma rays more energy and penetrating power than UVused to sterilize pharmaceuticals and disposable m
edical supplies such as syringes, surgical gloves, catheters, and sutures
used to retard spoilage in seafoods, meats, poultry, and fruits
Filtration The heat destroys the bacteria and meanwhile the
useful ingredient doesn’t survive. Filtration set a barrier to keep out the particle at a l
ow temperature Diameter of the pores: 0.22~0.45μm
Water and gas can pass the
barrier
Particle, including bacteria, keeping out
Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic
To form cavities about 10 μm in dia
meter in liquid
The cavities collapse of the pressure of 10
00 atmosphere
The cavitation produces a number of chemical and physical changes i
n medium.
Causing a depolymerization of macromolecules and intra
molecular regrouping
Hydrogen peroxide produced
Bacteria killed
•Because there are numerous survivors after the ultrasonic treatment, so it is of no practical value in sterilization and disinfection
Freezing
Although many bacteria are killed by exposure to cold, freezing is not a reliable method of sterilization.
The primary use is in the preservation of bacteria.
The best way to preserve the bacteria nowadays is lyophilization冷冻干燥 .
Section C
Chemical Agents
Chemical agents I:
Phenol and phenol derivatives alter membrane permeability and denature proteinschlorhexidine ineffective against endospores
Chemical agents II:
Soaps and detergentsAnionic (negatively charged) detergents: mechanic
ally remove microorganisms and other materials but are not very microbicidal.
Cationic (positively charged) detergents: alter membrane permeability and denature proteins; ineffective against endospores, M. tuberculosis, and P. species.
Chemical agents III:
Alcohols denature membranes70% solutions of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol ineffective against endospores and non-enveloped
viruses
Chemical agents IV:
Heavy metalsdenature proteinsMercury compounds (mercurochrome; merthiolat
e) : bacteriostatic, ineffective against endosporesSilver nitrate (1%) : put in the eyes of newborns to
prevent gonococcal ophthalmia.
Chemical agents V:
Chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorite ions, which in
turn denature microbial enzymes Iodine and iodophores
denatures microbial proteinseffective against some endospores
Chemical agents VI:
Aldehydesdenature microbial proteinsFormalin (37% aqueous solution of formaldehyde
gas)glutaraldehyde: kill vegetative bacteria in 10-30 mi
nutes and endospores in about 4 hours
Section D
Affecting factors
Factors Influencing Antimicrobial Activity The concentration and kind of a chemical agent used; The intensity and nature of a physical agent used; The length of exposure to the agent; The temperature at which the agent is used; The number of microorganisms present; The species or strain of microorganism; The nature of the material bearing the microorganism; The presence of organic or other interfering substances.
