You are working in the hospital research lab and a blood spill has occurred. What agents would you use to decontaminate the workspace? Describe the factors you must take into account when killing a microorganism on any surface.

Circle all of the items that would be disinfected with chlorine bleach. Use a highlighter to indicate the items that would be disinfected with glutaraldehydes. Underline the items that would be removed with hydrogen peroxide (an antiseptic). Influenza virus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Skin before a vaccine is given, Clostridium tetani, MRSA, Bacillus anthracis spores, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Endoscopes, Respiratory therapy equipment, Herpes viruses, Kitchen counters, Nonenveloped viruses Activity: Disinfectant or Antiseptic This activity will help you to understand the differences between disinfectants and antiseptics. It can be confusing to understand the difference, so use these definitions to help you out as you work through the activity: Antiseptic - chemicals that kill microorganisms on living skin or mucous membranes, Disinfectant - the inactivation of disease-producing microorganisms on inanimate objects. Using the above definitions, determine what type of decontaminate is being discussed in column B. Place your answer on the line in column A. COLUMN B COLUMN A 1. MRSA on football pads 2. Biofilms on teeth 3. Normal flora on a surgeon's hands and arms 4. Botulism toxin in canned food 5. Microbes under a nurse's fingernails 6. Urological equipment 7. Dental drill 8. Bed linens 9. A brush burn on the knee 10. Contact lenses
