The difference between biocides, disinfectants and preservatives
According to the degree of their inhibition of microbial growth,antibacterial agents are divided into sterilization agent,disinfectant and antibacterial agent.
A bactericidal agent that kills the propagules and spores of all microorganisms in the organism,both pathogenic and non-pathogenic.
Disinfectant to kill the pathogen.General disinfectants at common concentrations are only effective against the reproduction of bacteria and have no killing effect on spores.
Bacteriostatic agents,also known as bacteriostatic agents or preservatives,can prevent or inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
Generally speaking,antibacterial agents or antibacterial materials have bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect.Many drugs at low concentration only bacteriostatic effect,concentration increases or action time can play a bactericidal effect.
