AB The  purpose  of  sterilization  and  disinfection  procedures  is  to  prevent  transmission  of  microbes  to  patients.  In  addition  to  sterilization  and  disinfection,  other  important  measures  to  prevent  transmission  are  included  in  the  protocol  of  “standard  precautions”  (previously  known  as  Universal  Precautions).  These  standard  precautions  should  be  used  in  interaction  with  all  patients  because  it  is  unknown  whether  any  particular  patient  may  be  the  reservoir  of  transmissible  bacteria,  viruses,  or  other  microbes.
