Is the least effective disinfection process. It kills some bacteria, some viruses and fungi, but does not kill
bacterial spores or mycobacterium tuberculosis var bovis, a laboratory test organism used to classify the
strength of disinfectant materials. - ✔✔Low-level disinfectant
kills mycobacterium tuberculosis var bovis indicating that many human pathogens are also killed. This
process does not necessarily kill spores. - ✔✔Intermediate-level disinfectant
