  1. May 11, 2018 · Spore is not a precise term. Instead, endospore is the appropriate word. Endospore is the decisive factor that distinguishes disinfection from sterilization, because sterilization must kill the endospore [3,10]. Some gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus and Clostridium) can only make endospores, while gram-negative bacteria cannot. The differences ...

  3. Low-pressure mercury (Hg) discharge lamps are commonly used in UVGI applications and emit shortwave ultraviolet-C (UV-C, 100–280 nanometer [nm]) radiation, primarily at 254 nm. UV-C radiation kills or inactivates microbes by damaging their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

  7. Dec 19, 2020 · UV light is highly effective at killing germs. The three main types of UV rays are UVA, UVB, and UVC. Because UVC rays have the shortest wavelength, and therefore highest energy, they are capable...

  8. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection technique employing ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly UV-C (180–280 nm), to kill or inactivate microorganisms. UVGI primarily inactivates microbes by damaging their genetic material, thereby inhibiting their capacity to carry out vital functions.
