3, Select two microbial categories (e.g., obligate anaerobes, thermophiles, facultative anaerobes, halophiles, etc.). For each category:
- Identify
two microbial control methods that are most
effective
and
explain whether they:
o Kill the microbes (gemicidal),
o Control or inhibit their growth (germistatic), or
o Remove them mechanically.
- Identify
two microbial control methods that are least
effective
and
explain why they fail to kill, inhibit, or remove the microbes.
-
You may not use the same control
method more than once across both categories.
- Be briefly (2–3 sentences per method).
4, Explain the differences between sterilization, disinfection, antisepsis, and sanitization.
- Define the process in your own words.
- Provide one real-world example of how to do it, its effectiveness (whether the method kills, inhibits, or reduces microbes) and when it would be most appropriately applied
(e.g., in healthcare, food service,
laboratory, or daily life).
