Summary Introduction

To describe: The bacterial contamination level separation during sterilization, sanitization, disinfection or decontamination process.

Introduction: Microbial contamination is considered as a major threat in the food and medical fields. There are some common methods that include physical (heat, pressure, and radiation) and chemical (disinfectants, antiseptic, and antibiotics) methods to control these contaminates.

Explanation of Solution

Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the three-level that separate the bacterial contamination during sterilization, sanitization, disinfection or decontamination of something.

  • Cleaning: It is nothing but the physical removal of body materials and dust or foreign material from the surface. This will reduce the bacterial load and allows the surface to be sterilized or disinfected.
  • Disinfection: It is a process of destruction or removal of bacterial contamination. This level is not considered as harmful to health and is safe to handle. This process is not for destruction of bacterial spores.
  • Sterilization: It is top-level that enables the complete destruction of microbes including spores. This level is free from viable microorganisms.

An 1100 pound equine patient was given 20 mg/kg sucralfate 3 times a day, 2.8 mg/kg famotidine twice a day, and 10mg/kg doxycycline twice a day. Sucralfate comes as a 1 gm tablet, famotidine as 20 mg tablets, and doxycycline as 100mg tablets. All are in bottles of 100 tablets.How many total mg are needed for the patient and how many tablets of each would be needed to provide each dose?How many bottles of each would be needed to have available if this patient were to be on this drug regimen for 5 days?
