The Mechanisms of Action of Antiseptics and Disinfectants on Microorganisms can be Studied using a Variety of Ways
Author(s): Albatross Williams*
In hospitals and other health care facilities, antiseptics and disinfectants are widely utilized for a range of topical and hard-surface applications. They help prevent nosocomial infections in particular and are a crucial component of infection control procedures. Public usage of antiseptics and disinfectants has expanded as a result of growing worries about the risk of microbial contamination and infections in the food and general consumer sectors. These products include a wide range of active chemical substances (sometimes known as "biocides"), many of which have been used for antisepsis, disinfection, and preservation for hundreds of years. Despite this, less is known about these active drugs' modes of action than is the case with antibiotics. Antibiotics typically target particular intracellular targets, but biocides may target several intracellular targets. In gene.. View More»
