This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: II. MODE OF ACTION OF DISINFECTANTS. ETYMOLOGICALLY, the term disinfection means the destruction of infectious matter. As applied in common usage, it includes deodoriza- tion and the power to antisept. These properties are different in character and mode of action, and are not necessarily possessed by the same agent. A deodorant may not be a disinfectant, but a disinfectant deodorizes as well as destroys morbific matter. Notwithstanding the objections which may be urged against the term disinfection, it is now so firmly established in the popular, and even the scientific, language of the day, that it would not be advisable to substitute another. We should not, however, fail to recognize the essential differences in the powers and modes of action of the various agents which have been proposed as disinfectants. If our knowledge of these agents, and of thesubstances upon which they are intended to act, were complete, we could classify them as deodorants, antiseptics or colytics, and disinfectants. An almost insuperable difficulty in the way of a correct classification is experienced in the different kinds of action of the same agent. Thus charcoal, which physically restrains noxious gases, also acts as a catalytic agent, procuring chemical changes in the compounds absorbed within its pores. Sulphurous acid deoxidizes and also arrests chemical changes, or, in other words, acts as an antiseptic. Further, the particular mode of action of some disinfectants is not explicable in the present state of our knovledge. For these reasons, any classification must be more or less defective. The least objectionable is that of Dr. Herbert Barker, who divides disinfectants into three classes: 1. Agents that chemically destroy the noxious compound. 2. Agents that arrest chemical change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its thoroughly revised, updated Fifth Edition, this volume is a comprehensive, practical reference on contemporary methods of disinfection, sterilization, and preservation and their medical, surgical, and public health applications. More than a third of this edition's chapters cover subjects never addressed in previous editions. New topics covered include recently identified pathogens, microbial biofilms, use of antibiotics as antiseptics, synergism between chemical microbicides, pulsed-light sterilization of pharmaceuticals, and new methods for medical waste management. Close attention is given to infection control problems posed by endoscopes, implants, prostheses, and organ transplantation and to prevention of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various sections and detailed chapters of the book include introductions, fundamental principles of activity, chemical types of disinfectants/sterilants, controls of particular types of microorganisms, physical disinfection/sterilization technologies, medical & health related applications, test methodologies, and miscellaneous other topics. The last edition was published in 2000, and since that time much has changed in our understanding of the risks, the technologies available, and the regulatory environments in the practical applications of these technologies. Additionally, focus has somewhat shifted from "how to kill it" to "how to prevent it" A new edition, discussing new understandings of microbes and how to manage them through disinfection and prevention is necessary. Dr. Block has passed away, but he has several colleagues and previous contributors who are desirous of carrying the mantle of this important title.^
