Shingles is an infection by the herpes zoster virus, which also causes chicken pox. This happens in people who have had chicken pox and the virus present in the nerve reactivates later on in life. Shingles causes a painful rash on one side of your body and can affect your ears.
Moist heat sterilization is a technique that uses heated water and superheated steam to disinfect contaminated materials, such as culture media, surgical instruments, glassware and other non-thermally sensitive items.
Pasteurization. A high temperature is used for a short time to destroy pathogens and food spoilage organisms without altering the flavor of the food. Classic pasteurization was done at 63Â° C for thirty minutes. HTST pasteurization is done at 72Âº C for fifteen seconds. Ultra-high-temperature (UHT) treatment (140Âº C for three seconds) is used for dairy products. Dry Heat Sterilization. Methods of dry heat sterilization include direct flaming, incineration, and hot-air sterilization (170Â° C for two hours). Dry heat kills by oxidation. Different methods that produce the same effect (reduction in microbial growth) are called equivalent treatments.
