During the fall 2001 bioterrorist attack in which anthrax endospores were sent through the mail, one news commentator suggested that people should iron all their incoming mail with a regular household iron as a means of destroying endospores. Would you agree that this is a good way to disinfect mail? Explain your answer. Which disinfectant methods would be both more effective and more practical?

When applying a disinfectant to kill microbes, our bead experiment showed that what two factors affect how effectively microbes will be killed?
Some potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including strains of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Aspergillus, can survive for one to three months on a variety of materials found in hospitals, including scrub suits, lab coats, plastic aprons, and computer keyboards. What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens?
Jams, jellies, preserves, honey, and other foodstuffs with a high sugar content hardly ever become contaminated by bacteria, even when the food containers are left open at room temperature. Why is this?
placing bacteria at ultracold temperatures is as effective at killing microbes as the use of dry heat in incineration. is is true/false?
Why do we need to kill bacteria in order to clean an object?
Anthrax-laced letters were sent to the Senior Librarian recently. After the building was evacuated and all of the potentially exposed workers had received antibiotics to prevent the establishment of infection, no one was sure how to disinfect the building to make it safe for the return of workers. Your team has been hired by the Management to develop a plan to decontaminate the Building Complex after the arrival of anthrax-laced letters. The Building Complex contains thousands of valuable documents that cannot be destroyed. Workers need to be able to return to the buildings, although they do not need to return immediately. You need to guarantee the safety of workers who return. a. Can you devise an experimental setting to test the effectiveness of your strategy?b. What advice would you give to workers concerned with contaminating their family members?
Agar is a complex polysaccharide obtained from seaweed and cannot be digested by most microorganisms. Why does this property make agar an excellent solidifying agent for microbiological media?
Why is the sterilization important in healthcare system and can you give briefly explain?
What statement correctly explains why moist-heat is more effective than dry-heat for sterilization purposes? The microbe's molecules are resistant to alteration in the absence of water. Dry heat will always be a lower temperature than moist heat. Dry heat dehydrates the microbes, and dehydration is a method of preserving microbes. Water is a good conductor of heat.
Can an object be considered clean with bacteria on it?
What is the most difficult type of microbial cell or structure to kill? What methods can be used to sterilize a sample contaminated with these?
