to minimize the growth of organisms and transmission of disease from one individual to another. In the environment the use of disinfection techniques decreases the growth of bacteria on surfaces, which leads to the decrease in transmission of organisms among the population.

A method that allows the destruction of various microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites).

  Sterilization is required for any medical and surgical material to be used under strict aseptic conditions. Physical methods (use of heat, dry or wet, use of ultraviolet radiation, gamma or accelerated electrons) or chemical methods (application of a liquid or gaseous chemical) are used.

All invasive procedures involve contact between a medical device or surgical instrument and a patient's sterile tissue or mucous membranes. A major risk of all such procedures is the introduction of pathogenic microbes that could lead to infection. Failure to properly disinfect or sterilize reusable medical equipment carries a risk associated with complications. The level of disinfection or sterilization is dependent on the intended use of the object: critical items (such as surgical instruments, which contact sterile tissue), semicritical items (such as endoscopes, which contact mucous membranes), and noncritical items (such as stethoscopes, which contact only intact skin) require sterilization, high-level disinfection, and low-level disinfection, respectively. Cleaning must always precede high-level disinfection and sterilization. Adherence to the recommendations  should improve disinfection and sterilization practices in health care facilities, thereby reducing infections associated with contaminated patient-care
