1 Diamond Simmons BIO 2104 March 11, 2024 Aseptic Technique Answer sheet Pre-Laboratory Questions 1. Is sterilization the same as disinfection? Explain your answer. - No, they are not the same. Sterilization is the killing of all microbes and disinfecting is the reducing and or eliminating harmful microbes from surfaces. 2. Why is aseptic technique important? - This technique protects patients from bacterial and viral infections as well as protection from microbes that could be harmful. This technique keeps the equipment used during surgical procedures clean so that no contamination occurs. 3. What are signs of microbial growth in a liquid medium, such as broth? On a solid medium, such as nutrient agar? - In a liquid medium cloudiness, gas bubbles, sediment at the top or bottom of the tube, and/ or color changes are signs of microbial growth. - In a solid medium, you would see texture changes, change in color and/or transparency.
