Sterilization generally refers to the removal or destruction all living microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, fungi, or viruses, from an area or item. The goal of sterilization is to prevent the introduction pathogens \u2013 disease-causing microorganisms \u2212 into the body. Sterilization is imperative for tools and devices used in contact with the body such as medical and dental applications and in biomedical research settings.<\/p>\n
Disinfection is a lower grade of sterilization and involves only the destruction of microorganisms in their vegetative (or non-sporing) state. Disinfection does not involve the destruction of bacterial spores. Sterilization is the only acceptable standard for surgical purposes although disinfection may be suitable for some purposes.<\/p>\n
