Sterilisation by Irradiation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Sterilisation refers to any process that eliminates/inactivates transmissible infectious agents (pathogens) containing nucleic acids e.g. vegetative and spore forms of bacteria and fungi, parasites, viruses etc. There are two main types of sterilisation distinguishing by the characteristics of sterilisation agent used, namely physical and chemical sterilisation [3, 19].
