    The document discusses various infection control techniques, defining sterilization and disinfection. It identifies autoclaving, hydrogen peroxide, and iodine/iodophors as techniques that are sporicidal, killing all microorganisms including bacterial spores. Alcohols and chlorhexidine are not sporicidal. It provides details on the mechanisms of several common disinfectants - that autoclaving uses pressurized steam, alcohols denature proteins, chlorhexidine and hydrogen peroxide denature proteins and disrupt cell membranes, and iodine/iodophors halogenate biomolecules.
