Sterilization is the complete removal of microorganisms from an object or surfaces.
Sterilization is obtained when microorganisms are subjected to antimicrobial agents for
sufficient time and at optimum conditions.
Sterilization is a process of eradicating live microorganisms from substances. It is done to
preserve things for a long time and kill germs. If something is not sterilized, it may cause
infection to those who use it. Therefore, it should not be taken for granted.
