To be effective against spore forming bacteria and viruses, autoclaves need to: 1  Have steam in direct contact with the material being sterilized (i.e. loading of items is very important). 2  Create vacuum in order to displace all the air initially present in the autoclave and replacing it with steam.
Autoclaving is the preferred method of sterilization, unless the material to be sterilized can be damaged by heat or moisture. Sterilization in an autoclave is most effective when the organisms are either contacted by the steam directly or are contained in a small volume of aqueous (primarily water) liquid.
