Asepsis
Asepsis means the absence of microorganisms.
Types of
Asepsis:
Disinfection-applied to non living objects to kill miroorganizisms,
doesn't always all microorganizisms and spores.
Sterilization-any
process that eliminates all forms of life.
Antibacterial-
an agent that inhibits and or kills bacteria, not spores or viruses.
