Often‚ practices that clean (remove dirt and other impurities)‚ sanitize (reduce the number of microorganisms to safe levels)‚ or disinfect (remove most microorganisms but not highly resistant ones) are not sufficient to prevent infection.

In “Microbiology: with diseases by taxonomy”‚ Richard Bauman defines a nosocomial infection as “a disease acquired in a healthcare setting.” These infections are often found with implants and plastic items that have inserted into the body‚ such as catheters‚ pacemakers‚ and urinary catheters (Avdic‚ et. al 3885). “The ability of this microorganism to causes infections is primarily due to

epithelial cell junctions prohibit the passage of microorganisms. Many infectious microorganisms are mechanically cleansed from the surface during vomiting‚ urination‚ coughing or sneezing. Additionally the skin temperature inhibits microorganisms because they prefer temperatures near 37 C for more efficient growth. Epithelial surfaces also provide biochemical barriers by synthesizing and secreting substances that trap or destroy microorganisms . Mucous‚ perspiration‚ saliva‚ tears‚ and earwax

Some food in this world are made using microorganism to produce a desire flavour‚ taste and texture of the food. For examples: yogurt‚ tapai‚ cheese‚ bread and others. Starter cultures is used in these food production. A starter culture is a microbiological culture which actually perform fermentation. These starters usually consist of a cultivation medium‚ such as grains‚ seeds‚ or nutrient liquids that have been well colonized by the microorganisms used for the fermentation. These starters are formed
