Silver, also known as white metal, has been used for many years in jewellery and coins and was a symbol of wealth and prestige. But today, silver's primary use is industrial because it resists corrosion and oxidation. New innovations like cell phones or solar panels are constantly emerging to take advantage of silver's unique properties. Silver is a precious metal because it is rare and valuable. It's non-toxic, antimicrobial qualities make it useful in medicine and pharmaceutical products.…

Antiseptics are used to treat and prevent infection on skin, but many antiseptic products use different active ingredients to kill or slow the growth of bacteria. Several commonly used antiseptics contain active ingredients include isopropyl alcohol, iodine, chlorohexidine gluconate, and hydrogen peroxide.

Bleach was found to be a successful disinfectant against the bacterium S.epidermidis and E.coli, at all concentrations. Bleach is a household chemical substance that acts as a halogen-releasing agent specifically releasing chlorine. As bleach is an oxidizing agent, it facilitates the surge of cellular activity of Hsp33, which are redox-regulated chaperone proteins of the bacterial cell. This chaperone protein prevents the bleach from oxidizing the bacteria, which protects the cell against…

the back of my skull. This negligence of allowing a caustic antiseptic to leak into my right eye, resulted in a severe eye injury and near total loss of vision in that eye. This error was in no way a “foreseeable or associated” risk of this surgery, it was an unreasonable, unexpected, unforeseeable, and very unfortunate complication that should never have been allowed to happen. No reasonable person anticipates loss of vision from antiseptic being allowed to seep into and remain in the…

Biology assignment Introduction ? There are many bacteria present in the world that affect people on a daily basis. There are any antiseptics available on the market to help combat the war against pathogenic bacterium.

An extraordinary discovery for medicine Joseph Lister – an English surgeon’s biography Antiseptic is a substance that could be applied to living skin to prevent infection generated by microorganisms. Some examples of antiseptics are: alcohol, iodine, salt, sodium bicarbonate, and boric acid. Before the discovery of antiseptics, there was an increasing death rate among patients undergoing surgery. During the years 1864 to 1866, it is estimated that 45.7% of patients died from tissue infection.…
