Which of the following is NOT one of the three methods of infection control?

  1. Sanitation

  2. Disinfecting

  3. Sterilization

  4. Marvacide

The correct answer is: Marvacide

Marvacide is not one of the three methods of infection control because it is a specific brand of disinfectant solution, not a method of infection control itself. Sanitation involves keeping surfaces clean and free of dirt, while disinfecting involves killing germs and bacteria on surfaces. Sterilization is the most effective method of infection control as it completely eliminates all microorganisms from an object or surface. Other methods, such as Marvacide, only partially reduce the amount of bacteria present, making them less effective in preventing the spread of infection.
