and post- operatively through aseptic technique
, aseptic technique Containment of microbial contamination on
animate surfaces via mechanical and/or chemical
means
Sanitization A means of reducing microbes
Antisepsis Infection prevention through the inhibition of
microbial growth
sterile technique Prevention of microbial contamination on
inanimate surfaces via mechanical, chemical,

Disinfection The process of destroying all microorganisms,
except spore bearing ones
Sterilization The process of destroying all microorganisms
including viruses, fungi, and fungal spores as all
forms of bacteria and their spores by using
sterilants or sporicidal agents
Level 1 of contamination prevention High level asepsis for critical items; required for
any items introduced to internal body areas or
areas with high risk of infection if contaminated
with microorganisms, including bacterial spores
Level 2 of contamination prevention Intermediate asepsis for semi-critical items; used
for those items that contact mucous membranes
or broken skin
Level 3 of contamination prevention Low level or non crucial items; used for those
items that contact intact skin only
