Which of the following statements regarding microbial death is FALSE? Question options: cell walls are targeted by all microbial control agents all of these statements are TRUE many antimicrobial agents function through the disruption of protein structure under a given set of conditions, the fraction of a microbial population tht dies per minute is typically constant over time the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is a function of its microbial death rate the rate at which microbes are killed is termed the microbial death rate
Which of the following statements regarding microbial death is FALSE? Question options: cell walls are targeted by many microbial control agents the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent is a funciton of its microbial death rate the rate at which microbes are killed is termed the microbial death rate all of these statements are TRUE few antimicrobial agents function through the disruption of protein structure under a given set of conditions, the fraction of a microbial population that dies per minute is typically constant over time
Which of the following statements regarding microbial control agents is FALSE? Question options: strongly acidic or alkaline disinfectants are typically more effective than neutral pH agents the presence of extracellular fats typically decreases the effectiveness of control agents a warmed disinfectant is typically more effective than the same disinfectant at room temperature substances secreted by members of biofilms increase protection against microbial control agents all of these statements are TRUE bacterial endospores are more resistant to antimicrobial treatment than vegetative bacterial cells
Choose the false statement below. O High efficiency particulate air filters or HEPA filters are sanitizing but not sterilizing. O Microbes in sushi are kept at safe levels by acidity and rapid freezing and by topping with an antimicrobial food. O The osmotic pressure created by making fruit into jam makes jam resistant to bacterial growth. Question 5 Choose the false statement: O Amongst antimicrobial techniques that involve the use of heat, autoclaving, ultra high temperature (UHT) treatment, and incinerating (or burning) are considered sanitizing. O One might choose to include endospore forming bacteria in an autoclave to verify that the process would indeed eliminate even the most resistant microbes. O Pasteurization is a sanitizing method specifically designed for sugar-containing liquids that, if put through other heat treatments, would caramelize or burn.
Which of the following statements regarding low temperature storage is FALSE? Question options: freezing inhibits microbes through the unavailability of water freezing causes microbial death largely through DNA denaturation all of these statements are TRUE refrigeration functions largely by reducing the metabolic rate of microbes psychrophiles are generally not effectively inhibited by refrigeration many bacteria can survive freezing for years at a time
Assume that you are responsible for decontaminating materials in a large hospital. How would you sterilize each of the following? Briefly justify your answers. a mattress used by a patient with bubonic plague intravenous glucose-saline solutions used disposable syringes tissues taken from patients
What statement correctly explains why moist-heat is more effective than dry-heat for sterilization purposes? The microbe's molecules are resistant to alteration in the absence of water. Dry heat will always be a lower temperature than moist heat. Dry heat dehydrates the microbes, and dehydration is a method of preserving microbes. Water is a good conductor of heat.
In the laboratory, autoclaving is required to prepare media for the growth of microorganism. What type of method of control does this involve? Dry Heat Moist Heat Chemical Radiation All of the options
Which of the following treatments would be most useful to remove microbes from air pumped into a surgical environment? Giant magnets Filtration Gaseous glutaraldehyde Gaseous alcohol
