In our daily lives, we often use disinfectant, but the mechanism of disinfectant action, how much do you know?

Here are some of the common disinfectants we use.

Disinfectant binds to the protein of microbial cytoplasm, which hinders the function of cells, such as silver cyanoxide and mercury.

2. Microbial cell obstruction caused by acidification, such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, bleaching powder, urea, polenopyrine iodine.

To hydrolyze the components of bacteria and protozoa cells and inhibit their functions, such as strong acids and bases.

To dissolve cytoplasm through microbial cell membrane, such as methanol, ethanol, ether, etc.

V. coagulation or denaturation of microbial proteins causes cell dysfunction, such as carbolic acid, cresol, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, isopropanol, etc.

6. Destroy the enzyme system of microorganisms, such as boric acid, soap, pigment system medicine, chlorhexidine, etc

These are the principles of sterilization and disinfection of various disinfectants to living aerobic and anaerobic bacteria or other microorganisms.
