Blahah Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Disinfection in our labs means reducing the microbial load but not necessarily killing all microorganisms or their spores. As opposed to sterilisation, which kills all the microorganisms and their spores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeLobo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 A disinfectant kills vegetative cells of pathogenic microbes on inanimate surfaces. Compare to a sterilant that kills vegetative cells and spores of spore forming bacteria on inanimate surfaces and an antiseptic that kills bacteria on animate surfaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
