Microbes can be controlled, there are 5 was to control microbes. The first one is Sterilization- killing all microbes. Sterilization simply means to kill ALL microbe, without exception. Another way to control microbes is with Disinfection- the use of chemicals to kill, inactivate, destroy or limit growth. Disinfection is typically used in inanimate objects. Sanitation simply means the removal of pathogens. One of most recommended one is Degerming- this means physically removing microbes, such as, washing your hands.  Last but not least, Antiseptic is using chemical or antibiotics to limit growth, inactivate, laminate, etc.
