2
Once upon a time… Please don’t sleep
3
Fashionable friends
4
Abrar’s…
5
Sara started the preparation early
6
She got a luxurious manicure and padicure plus…
7
An elegant evening gown
8
Lubna started the preparation 2 days before the wedding
9
She got an elegant evening gown, but…
10
A poor manicure and padicure
11
Both attended the wedding in…
12
After 45 days, Lubna was suffering from…
13
Diagnosed as Hepatitis Patient
14
After discussion with the Doctor, she knew it’s because of the poor hygienic manicure and pedicure
15
Good hygienePoor hygiene
16
Destruction of Microorganisms
17
So, do you think we are in a war with…?!
18
Simply because they are the agents of… Contamination, infection and decay
19
Early civilization
20
In the 1800s Aseptic techniques invented to prevent contamination of surgical wounds
21
Many organizations classified infection control systems and substances into: Physical methods. Chemical methods. Referred broadly as Germicides
22
Germicidal systems fall into three categories: 1.Decontamination. 2.Disinfection. 3.Sterilization.
23
1. Decontamination: Reduction of pathogenic microorganisms to be safe to handle without protective attire. The Lowest level of control. Includes physical cleaning with soap and detergents and removing of most organic and inorganic materials. It is the critical step toward disinfection and steilisation.
24
2. Disinfection: Disinfectants are liquid chemical agents that kill targeted pathogens but not spores. It can also be solid or gaseous. It is the next level of control.
25
3. Sterilization The complete elimination of viable organisms including spores. The highest level of control
26
Factors influencing disinfection Number of microorganisms. Species and type of microorganism. Temperature.
27
Destruction of Microorganisms Physical Antimicrobial Agents Chemical Antimicrobial agents
28
Physical Antimicrobial Agents Physical environmental agents can destroy large concentrations of microorganisms in lab cultures or a clinical specimen.
29
Physical Antimicrobial Agents Physical sterilization Dry heatMoist heatIncineration Osmotic pressure FiltrationRadiation
30
UV Light To inactivate microorganisms on surfaces
31
Filtration Filtration is used to remove bacteria, fungi and their endospores from air or solutions.
32
Osmotic Pressure Extremely hypertonic conditions can cause plasmolysis.
33
Incineration
34
Autoclave Moist heat- Steam sterilization 121 O C for 15 min
35
Dry heat 160 O C for 2 hours OR 170 O C for an hour
36
Chemical Antimicrobial Agents In considering their application to patient care, two general classes: 1.Those destroying pathogenic microorganisms in the environment (disinfectants) or on skin (antiseptics). 2.Those administered to patients for treatment of infectious diseases (antimicrobial agents, often called antibiotics).

38
Evaluating a disinfectant Direct spray method. Testing the quality of disinfectant from different brands.
