⩥ TOXIN. Answer: - Poison of complex chemical substances
⩥ PUS. Answer: - Contains blood and body cells, dead and living
bacteria
⩥ AEROBIC/ANAEROBIC BACTERIA. Answer: - Aerobic: needs
oxygen to survive

SEPSIS/SEPTIC. Answer: - Asepsis/Aseptic: free from pathogenic
bateria
- Sepsis/Septic: infected by pathogenic bacteria
⩥ BACTERICIDE/GERMICIDE. Answer: - Chemical that has power to
destroy bacteria
⩥ WET SANITISER
DRY SANITISER. Answer: - Wet Sanitiser: objects immersed in
disinfectant
,- Dry Sanitiser: airtight cabinets with fumigant or UV radiation
⩥ ANTISEPTIC INGREDIENTS. Answer: - Alcohol
- Boric Acid
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Iodine

⩥ MOIST/WET HEAT STERILISATION. Answer: - Boiling: 100
degrees for 20 mins
,- Steaming (autoclave): 120-130 degrees for 20 mins
⩥ DRY HEAT STERILISATION. Answer: - Baking: 149 degrees for 1hr
- Bead: glass beads at 250-260 degrees for min 30 sec
⩥ GAMMA RAY RADIATION. Answer: - Destroys microbes through
ionised particles
⩥ 1ST LEVEL OF SANITATION. Answer: - Does not pierce skin
- Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, dry and place in cabinet
⩥ 2ND LEVEL OF SANITATION. Answer: - Does pierce skin, in
contact with mucous membranes
- Wash in COLD soapy water, wash in warm soapy water, rinse, dry,
immerse in disinfectant for 10 mins, rinse, dry and place in cabinet
⩥ 3RD LEVEL OF SANITATION. Answer: - Heat (moist or dry) or
radiation
⩥ BACTERIA. Answer: - One celled organisms
- Reproduce through amitosis
- Reach full growth in 20-30 mins
- Pathogenic (harmful), non-pathogenic (harmless)
, - Ideal temp 37 degrees in warm, dark, moist areas
⩥ SPORES. Answer: - Shell like covering allowing bacteria to live
during unfavourable conditions
- Cannot cause disease
- Spores drop when conditions become favourable
⩥ CLASSIFICATIONS OF BACTERIA. Answer: - Cocci: round
shaped, not able to move in liquid, 3 types: streptococci, staphlococci
and diplococci
- Bacilli: rod shaped
- Spirilla: corkscrew shaped
⩥ STREPTOCOCCI. Answer: - Form chains, causes blood poisoning
and scarlet fever
⩥ STAPHLOCOCCI. Answer: - Form in clusters, strongest of non-spore
forming bacteria
- Responsible for many skin diseases e.g. carbuncles, furuncles etc
⩥ DIPLOCOCCI. Answer: - Grow in pairs, cause measles and influenza
⩥ VIRUS. Answer: - DNA coil surrounded by protein sheath
