Control of Microbial Growth
Control of Microbial Growth:
Introduction
* Early civilizations practiced salting, smoking, pickling, drying, and exposure of food and clothing to sunlight to control microbial growth. * Use of spices in cooking was to mask taste of spoiled food. Some spices prevented spoilage. * In mid 1800s Semmelweiss and Lister helped developed aseptic techniques to prevent contamination of surgical wounds. Before then: * Nosocomial infections caused death in 10% of surgeries. * Up to 25% mothers delivering in hospitals died due to infection
Control of Microbial Growth: definitions Sterilization: Killing or removing all forms of microbial life (including endospores) in a material or an object. Heating is the most commonly used method of sterilization. Commercial Sterilization: Heat treatment that kills endospores of Clostridium botulinum the causative agent of botulism, in canned food. Does not kill endospores of thermophiles, which are not pathogens and may grow at temperatures above 45oC.
Control of Microbial Growth: definitions Disinfection: Reducing the number of pathogenic microorganisms to the point where they no longer cause diseases. Usually involves the removal of vegetative or non-endospore forming pathogens. May use physical or chemical methods. * Disinfectant: Applied to inanimate objects. * Antiseptic: Applied to living

    The population of a bacterium will grow successfully in a particular pattern known as ‘logarithmic growth’ if the location is appropriate and the proper nutrients are present. The bacteria numbers will increase and most likely continue to double in this area over time with optimal conditions. Optimal conditions meaning that there are no dangers or limiting factors, to inhibit growth in this area, such as disease, predators, competition or lack of food. At first the bacteria should reproduce slowly, this is known as the lag phase but then over time it should increase more rapidly throughout what is called the log phase. This predictable pattern of growth can be called the organism’s biotic potation.…

    Bacteria can be found everywhere! , also in place it should not be in , so we can use different techniques to reduce the number of bacteria to reach safety stage or to eliminate them completely by different chemical agents and physical methods.and in this experiment we will talk about chemical agent and its affect on bacteria which depends on the concentration ,type and intensity of agent , the length of exposure to the agent , the number of microorganism present and the material bearing the microorganism . Bacterial growth can be controlled by chemical agents such as: sterilization in which we kill all living organisms. Disinfection, decontamination, disinfectant, antiseptic, sanitizer and antibiotic are another chemical agents that can used to affect on bacterial growth.…

    Moisture and hydrostatic pressure,are also factors affecting bacterial growth. The bacterial cells need moisture to live and most would die after only a few hours in a dry climate. Hydrostatic pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by water as you travel deeper. Bacteria can live at all different pressure ranges but there are some, called barophiles, that can only live at very high pressures. These cells need the pressure to keep them intact. When the pressure is released, they tend to lose their shape and die.…
