Microbiology

The use of inhibitor on microorganism growth

Growth inhibitors, also known as chemotherapeutic control is the selective use of agent or practice
that is intended to stop or kill the growth of microorganism. that prevent unwanted microbial
contamination, spoilage, decomposition and transmission of disease.

There are two types of growth inhibitor;

Physical agent:

 Filtration
 Radiation
 Osmotic pressure
 Desiccation
 Temperature
 Sterilization

Chemical agent;

 Disinfection
 Antiseptic
 Antibiotic
 Preservation
 Chemotherapeutic agents

Antibiotics: they are any chemical of natural origin which has an affect to kill or inhibit the growth of
micro-organism inside the body.

Definition of the words below

Antiseptic: antiseptics is a microbe-killing growth inhibitor that is safe enough to be used the skin
and mucous membrane as not to destroy the cells but should not be taken internally.

Biocontainment: it is the practice and procedure used to prevent extremely pathogenic organism
(such as virus) from escaping into the environment through the use of isolation or biologically secure
cabinets or rooms.

Pathogenicity: it is the potential ability of a pathogen to cause disease or damage to the host

Good microbiological technique: they are method used to study microbes without getting the
organism from contaminating the work or the environment

Biosafety levels: biosafety levels are safety procedures usually needed in a laboratory that is used to
isolate harmful biological agents to prevent hurting the public, environment and workers

Autoclave: it is an equipment or apparatus used to create special condition(extremely high or cold
pressure or temperature ) that can be used for variety of application

Virkon: it is a multi-purpose disinfectant typically used for a variety of things such as hazardous
spills, disinfecting surfaces and soaking equipment.

Decontamination: it is the process where dangerous substance, radioactivity or microorganism are
removed from a contaminated object or surface

Microbiological risk assessment: it is the process of accessing the health risk associated with
biological hazards

What is risk assessment?

It is the careful examination of what could harm people during a scientific investigation

What are hazards?

A hazard is substances or equipment that can pose a threat to the health of living organism.

What are risk?

It is a process used to identify hazardous character of an organism that could expose harm or
contract disease to the investigator

Give examples of Hazards and their associated Risks in your college Lab.

Hazard risk

Bunsen burner the Bunsen burn your hand or might caught something on fire

Bags or object lays bags or objects on the floor could lead to trips or fall



What is a control method when completing a risk assessment?

There are precaution put in place to protect individuals from risk and hazards that exist within a
work place
