Principles of disinfection.
For more than 150 years, we have known that medical and surgical devices may serve as vehicles for the transmission of infectious agents to a susceptible host. During that time, our knowledge and experience involving microbial inactivation through disinfection have become quite sophisticated. As a result, infectious complications associated with patient care are now the exception rather than the rule.
