During the sterilization process, in order to control pathogens, we use dry heat that causes?

Correct answer: A. Oxidation of bacterial compounds

  • A. Oxidation of bacterial compounds
  • B. Coagulation of bacterial proteins
  • C. Separate the bacteria from their media
  • D. Decrease in bacterial growth

Explanation

Is correct as During the sterilization process, oxidation of bacterial compounds can occur due to the exposure of bacteria to various sterilizing agents or conditions In all sterilization methods, the oxidative damage to bacterial compounds occurs through the transfer of electrons, resulting in the formation of reactive oxygen species. These reactive species can react with essential biomolecules, causing structural changes, functional disruption, and ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.
