What is disinfection - definition
Disinfection is an operation to eliminate or kill microorganisms and/or inactivate undesirable viruses.
5 different activities are grouped under the term disinfection:
- Bactericide : Product that kills bacteria
- Levuricide Yeast-killing product
- Fungicide : Product that kills fungi (spores and moulds)
- Sporicide : Product that kills bacterial spores.
- Virucide Product that kills viruses
Thus one disinfectant may be only bactericidal, while another may be bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal.
