What is the difference between antifungal agent and antibacterial agent?
The antifungal agent has a strong inhibitory and killing effect on bacteria, fungi and algae. It is mainly suitable for daily use of antiseptic and mildew, such as cosmetics, detergents, gels, creams, liquid soaps and wet tissues. Anti-mold, usually refers to the dry film state of paint and other products, that is, the film, in order to prevent the growth of mold, an anti-mold effect is required. The anti-mold agent is in the dry film state, mainly targeting mold, killing and inhibiting the growth of mold An additive.
The main components of antibacterial agents: organic silicon copper quaternary ammonium salt, cassone, surfactants, synergists, etc. An agent that can prevent microorganisms from causing mildew. There are phenols (such as phenol), chlorophenols (such as pentachlorophenol), organic mercury salts (such as phenylmercury oleate), organic copper salts (such as 8-hydroxyquinoline copper), organic tin salts (such as chlorinated Triethyl or tributyltin, etc.), and inorganic salts copper sulfate, mercury chloride, sodium fluoride, etc. Used in plastics, rubber, textiles, paints and insulating materials, etc.
The main ingredients of the antifungal agent are calcium propionate, propionic acid, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, etc. The antifungal agent is used to prevent mildew during the storage of feed or raw materials. Generally, it should be added by the feed factory. It doesn't make much sense for the user to add it when using freshly prepared feed.
The main mold release agents on the market include: activated carbon and some high polymers, zeolite powder, diatomaceous earth, kaolin, montmorillonite, aluminosilicate, glucomannan, mycotoxin specific enzyme, and mesoscopic loading treatment Of aluminosilicate.
Antibacterial agents and antifungal agents are different. As for the mechanism of action of antibacterial agents and antifungal agents, there is a slight difference, because different antibacterial agents have different effective ingredients and different mechanisms of action. Antibacterial agents generally refer to agents that can kill and inhibit the growth of bacteria. Antifungal agents usually refer to agents that can kill or inhibit the growth of molds. One is for bacteria and the other is for mold. However, from a broad perspective, both bacteria and molds belong to bacteria, and antibacterial agents naturally refer to antibacterial and mold preparations at this time. Every kind of antifungal agent or antibacterial agent has the ability to kill and inhibit bacteria and mold, but the focus is different. Some preparations have strong antifungal ability (anti-fungus), but their ability to inhibit bacteria is slightly weaker. some. Some preparations are more effective in inhibiting bacteria than molds, but whether it is against molds or bacteria, the mechanism of action of the same agent is the same.
There may be multiple mechanisms and modes of action for the same anti-fungal agent or antibacterial agent. Many anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents of Jianisi are compounded and contain a variety of anti-fungal and anti-bacterial components. If analyzed from a single anti-bacterial component, the mode of action is very simple. Therefore, the mechanism of action of antifungal agents and antifungal agents mainly depends on the active ingredients in them. The mechanism of action of anti-mold and antibacterial agents can be roughly divided into strong oxidation, sterilization by sterilizing active groups, interference or interruption of cytoplasmic flow, leading to the collapse of cell plasma membrane to play a bactericidal effect, inhibition of protein synthesis, synthesis of genetic material, etc. , Pierce the cell membrane or cell wall, let the things needed for reproduction overflow, etc.
Although the antibacterial agent looks similar to the antifungal agent, the two components are different, so the mechanism is also different.
