Bacteria Reproduction Facts:
Bacteria reproduce by dividing. Once
the cell reaches its maximum size it starts
to come together in the middle and
eventually breaks in two. This process
can take 15 to 30 minutes.
In just 5 hours, one bacterium can turn
into over 1 million bacteria.
Since you would rarely start with just 1
bacterium on any given surface, you can
see where bacteria can spread into
millions and billions of bacteria very
rapidly.
How Bacteria Is Spread:
People are carriers of bacteria and can
pass the bacteria to others in a variety of
ways.
They can travel through the air when
someone sneezes.
We deposit them on objects we touch,
so bacteria can literally be anywhere.
This is why cleaning companies must pay
particular attention to "touch points" like
door knobs, telephones and desk tops
when cleaning and disinfecting.
Animals and insects can also carry
bacteria.
Methods of Killing Bacteria:
Heat - this method can include
sterilization (steam under pressure),
moist heat (autoclaves), boiling, and dry
heat (hot air sterilization).
Cold - cold doesn't actually kill bacteria,
but it inhibits the growth.
Direct sunlight or ultraviolet light.
Chemical Agents like disinfectants or
germicides.
