For this reason, these are used to test the efficacy of autoclaves. _______ removes all microbes from the environment. Self-Check: Factors Affecting the Efficacy of Antimicrobial Methods Drag to rank the following from most resistant (top) to least resistant (bottom). Self-Check: Methods of Chemical Control _______ was the first major antimicrobial chemical used with toxic and irritating side effects. _______ (70 to 95 %) is used in skin degerming and disinfection of some types of medical equipment. _______ is most commonly used as household bleach. _______solution is used to treat gonococcal infections in eye of newborn, mouth ulcers and root canal treatment. Reflect: Controlling Microbial Growth _______ are used as preservatives for ophthalmic solutions and cosmetics. The minimum sterilizing conditions in a steam autoclave are _______ heat is more rapidly effective and efficient compared to heat. _______ radiation excites atoms to a higher energy state within molecules such as DNA, which leads to the formation of pyrimidine dimers. _______ aqueous solution, is used as embalming fluid Physical agents for controlling microbial growth include all of the following except . Scrubbing or immersing the skin in chemicals to reduce the numbers of microbes on the skin is . Which of the following items are typically irradiated in order to kill microbes?
