Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are several types of methods and antimicrobial procedures are available that are used to kill highly resistant microorganisms and these procedures provide vigorous treatment for elimination of microbes from the contaminated items. There are various methods like boiling, heat treatment, pasteurization, UV (ultraviolet) treatment and high-pressure treatment.
