organs and organism as a whole. Main rule is - "one and all that get into the contact with
wound obligate to be sterile" airborne way of contamination infection from respiratory
tract of patients, and health-care workers infected bandages and infected wound discharge
Pathogenic germs from clothes and skin of workers and patients.

*Bacteriocide

A bactericide or bacteriocide is a substance that kills bacteria and, preferably, nothing

else. Bactericides are either disinfectants, antiseptics or antibiotics.

*Chemotherapeutic Agent

Chemotherapeutic agents, also referred to as antineoplastic agents, are used to directly or

internal medicine, and pediatrics that is concerned with the study of blood, the blood-
forming organs, and blood diseases. Hematology includes the study of etiology,
diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of blood diseases.

*Interferon

Interferons are natural proteins produced by the cells of the immune system of

as viruses, parasites and tumor cells. Interferons belong to the large class
of glycoproteins known as cytokines.
