Antiseptics Definition An antiseptic is a substance which inhibits the growth and development of microorganisms. For practical purposes‚ antiseptics are routinely thought of as topical agents‚ for application to skin‚ mucous membranes‚ and inanimate objects‚ although a formal definition includes agents which are used internally‚ such as the urinary tract antiseptics. Purpose Antiseptics are a diverse class of drugs which are applied to skin surfaces or mucous membranes for their anti-infective

Antiseptics and Disinfectants Introduction Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used in hospitals and other health care settings for a variety of topical and hard-surface applications. A wide variety of active chemical agents (biocides) are found in these products‚ many of which have been used for hundreds of years‚ including alcohols‚ phenols‚ iodine‚ and chlorine. Most of these active agents demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; however‚ little is known about the mode of

kills the bacteria‚ it is called bactericidal. If the agent inhibits the growth of bacteria‚ it is called bateriostatic. (Fundaments of Microbiology Lab Manual) The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effect different disinfectants and antiseptics‚ which are used to decrease the number of microbes‚ on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The effectiveness of the chemical agent was determined by the size of the zone of inhibition around the disc incubated on soft nutrient agar seeded

The Relation of Antiseptics and Bacteria Growth Purpose: To explore the effectiveness of different levels of concentration of antiseptic and antibacterial products’ prevention of bacterial growth. Question: Amongst common household products‚ which antiseptic and level of concentration is more effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria? Introduction: Antiseptics are antimicrobial substances used on living tissue to reduce the possibility of infection‚ putrefaction or sepsis. The word “anti”

higher the concentration of antiseptic‚ the more powerful it will be at inhibiting/ killing microorganisms which cause bacterial growth.” This theory supports my result because as you can see the zone of inhibition increases due to the increasing concentration of antiseptic. The higher concentration of antiseptic means it has been less diluted‚ which means its more stronger than other more diluted concentrations‚ this high concentration will determine how powerful the antiseptic will be at killing/inhibiting

STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION Definitions Bacteriostatic Agent: An agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria‚ but does not necessarily kill them. Bactericide: An agent that kills bacteria. Most do not kill Endospores. Sporicide: An agent that kills spores. Definition STERILIZATION The process of freeing an article from microorganisms including their spores. By definition‚ it effects a reduction in the number of microorganisms (more than 99.9999% are killed). Methods

Some common antiseptics[edit] A bottle of ethanol (95%) - an antiseptic Alcohols Most commonly used are ethanol (60–90%)‚ 1-propanol (60–70%) and 2-propanol/isopropanol (70–80%) or mixtures of these alcohols. They are commonly referred to as "surgical alcohol". Used to disinfect the skin before injections are given‚ often along with iodine (tincture of iodine) or some cationic surfactants (benzalkonium chloride 0.05–0.5%‚ chlorhexidine 0.2–4.0% or octenidine dihydrochloride 0.1–2.0%).
