In medical asepsis, the goal is to prevent the spread of pathogens, which are infectious microorganisms that can cause disease. Therefore, an item is considered contaminated if it has pathogens present on or within it. Non-pathogens, such as harmless bacteria that naturally reside on the skin, do not pose a risk of infection and are not considered contaminants in medical asepsis.
