Mycobacterial infection
BSAVA Scientific Information DocumentsAuthor BSAVA Scientific CommitteeThe number of cases of mycobacterial infections being recognised in small companion animals is slowly increasing, although it should be borne in mind that the number of confirmed cases of M. bovis remains very low. However, in view of the public health implications, it is important that veterinary surgeons have access to accurate information on which to base decisions related to diagnosis and management in order to provide accurate advice to their clients. Last reviewed 2016. The information in this SID is still valid as far as BSAVA Scientific Committee is aware but is not under active review at this time. The Committee will review this content if any new information comes to light.

Sterilization and disinfection
BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Surgical PrinciplesAuthor Michael H. HamiltonThe terms sterilization, disinfection, asepsis and antisepsis are often used interchangeably and frequently incorrectly. Sterilization is the process of destruction of all forms of microbial life. This includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae and protozoans. The term also implies the complete elimination of dormant bacterial spores, which are highly resistant to environmental changes and can survive within the environment for many years. This chapter looks at Disinfection; Methods of sterilization; and Preparation and handling of surgical packs.
