medical asepsis
Defined as the destruction of disease causing organisms
surgical asepsis
Destruction of all organisms sued for surgery or injections
sterile field

resident flora
microorganisms that normally reside on the skin, mucous membranes, and inside the
respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts
