Abstract:
Microorganisms play important roles in our lives. Of primary interest are those microorganisms that cause diseases under a variety of circumstances. Other issues include the economic aspects associated with microbial contamination, such as food spoilage, plant infections, and surface damage. This introductory chapter of Antisepsis, Disinfection, and Sterilization provides a brief description of the various types of target microorganisms, as well as a discussion of some key considerations for biocidal applications, including the evaluation of efficacy, formulation effects, and the importance of cleaning. It offers brief insights of the topics discussed in each chapter in the book. A section presents definitions of the biocidal applications consistent with international consensus documents.

Bacterial cell wall structures. The cell membranes are similar structures in all types. grampositive bacteria have a large peptidoglycan layer (shown as crossed lines) with associated polysaccharides and proteins. gramnegative bacteria have a smaller peptidoglycan layer linked to an outer membrane. The mycobacterial cell has a series of covalently linked layers, including the peptidoglycan-, arabinogalactan-, and mycolic acid-containing sections.

Rate of microbial inactivation on exposure to sterilization processes. In this case, the test microorganism (generally bacterial spores) at a starting population of 106 is exposed to the sterilizing agent under two conditions (A and B). The number of microorganisms can be determined over contact time or dose using a combination of direct-enumeration and fraction-negative methods (solid lines). In process A, “tailing” is observed, which may not allow the extrapolation of the kill curve to a defined probability of survival (known as an SAL). In process B, the kill curve is linear, allowing extrapolation (dotted line) to an SAL of 10–6.
