High-level disinfection is a process that kills or inactivates most microorganisms, including spores. This level of disinfection is necessary to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and ensure the safety of patients and healthcare workers. In contrast, sterilization is a more intense level of cleaning that eliminates all forms of microbial life, including spores. However, not all items require sterilization, and high-level disinfection is often sufficient for most healthcare settings.
