Chemical Agents for Microbial Control01:27

Chemical Agents for Microbial Control

447
Chemicals play important roles in controlling microbial growth by targeting microbial structures and functions as sanitizers, antiseptics, disinfectants, and sterilants.Alcohols are commonly used sanitizers, effectively disrupting lipid membranes, which compromises cell integrity. They are also used as antiseptics and disinfectants due to their rapid action and versatility.Phenols and their derivatives phenolics , known for denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes, are particularly...

Biological Methods for Microbial Control

473
Biological agents offer an effective means of controlling microbial growth by leveraging natural processes like predation, competition, and the secretion of antimicrobial substances.Predatory bacteria such as Bdellovibrio species target and kill pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli. They are widely used in poultry farms to control infections. Myxococcus species help combat plant-pathogenic fungi. These naturally occurring predators serve as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides and...

Hand hygiene

4.7K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.2K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neglected Tropical Diseases

Background:

  • Scabies is a significant neglected tropical disease (NTD) disproportionately affecting disadvantaged and overcrowded populations.
  • Emerging evidence suggests ivermectin-based mass drug administration (MDA) can reduce scabies prevalence, yet formal guidelines are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a global framework and strategic recommendations for scabies control.
  • To identify key operational research priorities for scabies management.

Main Methods:

  • An informal World Health Organization (WHO) consultation convened experts to discuss scabies control strategies.
  • The consultation focused on disease burden mapping, intervention delivery, and monitoring and evaluation.

Main Results:

  • A consensus framework for scabies control was developed, including recommendations for MDA implementation.
  • Key operational research priorities were identified to strengthen evidence for scabies control.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework enables countries to integrate scabies control into national NTD plans.
  • This initiative supports achieving 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and WHO NTD Roadmap targets.
