Which of the following is the best at destroying bacteria during cleaning activities?
- A.
Soap and hot water
- B.
Detergent spray
- C.
Detergent and scrubbing pad
- D.
Disinfectant spray
- E.
Sterilizing fluid
Correct Answer
D. Disinfectant sprayExplanation
Disinfectant spray is the best at destroying bacteria during cleaning activities because it contains chemicals that are specifically designed to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Soap and hot water can remove bacteria from surfaces but may not necessarily kill them. Detergent spray and detergent with a scrubbing pad can help remove bacteria but may not be as effective at killing them as disinfectant spray. Sterilizing fluid is designed to kill all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, but may not be as practical or necessary for everyday cleaning tasks.Rate this question:

Salmonella
- E.

Correct Answer(s)
C. Campylobacter
D. SalmonellaExplanation
Campylobacter and Salmonella are classed as food borne due to their extended incubation periods and low infectious doses. This means that they can cause illness even if consumed in small amounts, and the symptoms may not appear immediately after consumption, but rather after a certain period of time. These pathogens are commonly associated with contaminated food and can cause gastrointestinal infections in humans. E.coli 0157, Bacillus cereus, and tape worms are not specifically known for their extended incubation periods and low infectious doses in the context of food borne illnesses.Rate this question:
