Expert Solution

Introduction:

Removal of microorganisms from surfaces such as benchtops in a microbiology laboratory and in healthcare facilities and from surgical instruments and other materials that are used to work on patients like tubes, which are inserted inside the patients, is a regular process. Also, we need to make sure that the culture media used in the microbiology lab are free from microbes so that samples can be cultured on these media. But all of these require a separate set of guidelines and a separate way of achieving the desired level of cleaning.
