Explain the role of antiseptic
The main function of bactericidal preservatives is to ensure that the material does not deteriorate during use by killing bacteria or making them lose their ability to grow and reproduce.
Preservatives can denature proteins in microorganisms, destroy cell activity and cause cell death; Preservatives can also mutate the cellular genetic genes of microorganisms or interfere with the activity of enzymes inside cells to make it difficult to reproduce and grow, thus inhibiting microorganisms. The bactericidal and antibacterial effect of preservatives is often related to its concentration and action time, the same preservative, high concentration or long action time can kill bacteria, low concentration or short action time can only play an inhibitory effect. In addition, the same preservative has completely different effects on different microorganisms, and a preservative that can kill one microorganism may have only an inhibitory effect on another.
