Disinfectant

It is vital to reduce contaminates and decrease the risk of microbes in drinking water. This process is accomplished through water disinfection. This procedure can be done though several methods; however, chlorine and chloramine are the most frequently used forms of chemical disinfection (Serrano, Silva, & Gallego, 2011). When this process is utilized, there is an increased risk in the release of unwanted by-products can cause severe health risk. The use of chemical disinfection methods, results in the creation of disinfection by-products through the interaction of the disinfectants with natural organic matter (NOM) (Bougeard, Goslan, Jefferson, Bruce, and Parsons, 2010). Due to the minute amounts of the disinfectant by-products, a reliable…

measuring the diameter of the resisted zone in 3 areas and taking an average. As numerical data was required for this it means that in this experiment the Zone of Inhibition Test was quantitative. However, as these numbers were then categorised into 3 areas, to solely determine if the bacteria were or weren’t resistant to the disinfectants, it means that the results are also qualitative. Within this experiment 2 commonly known disinfectants (Milton and Dettol) were used at variable strengths…

It had been 31 years since humans wandered out of their homes in Division 3. After the nuclear war ended in 2020, the government of Havenbush divided the country up in three divisions. Division 1, was full of people who were affiliated with the government, they were the only ones with the freedom to legally break the New Amendment. Division 2 was full of middle classed people. Division 2 had a few violators that broke the New Amendment rules, and they were killed by the Sanitizers, robots armed…

Disinfectants are formulations of active chemicals that sterilize inanimate surfaces or objects, whereas antiseptics deter bacterial growth on living tissue. These agents have two modes of anti-bacterial action; growth inhibition or lethal action. Disease causing micro-organisms thrive wherever there are appropriate conditions to provide sustenance. There are four major types of pathogens; bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. Determining the disinfectant with highest efficacy…

Question: Although both Antiseptic and Disinfectants have common mechanism, how Antiseptics are more beneficial for the living organism? INDEX S.NO SUB-TOPICS PAGE No. 1 Introduction - Antiseptic vs Disinfectant 2 Antiseptics • Definition • Mode of action of antiseptics • Examples of Antiseptics • Structure of Antiseptic 3 Disinfectants • Definition • Structure of Disinfectants • Mode of action of disinfectants • Examples of disinfectants • Applications of Disinfectant 4…

The results show that the detergent is the most effective disinfectant out of ethanol, anticeptic, detergent and antibacterial. The hypothesis states “that if ethanol is used as a disinfectant on bacteria, it will be the most effective whereas an antibacterial will be the least effective” which is not supported by the results for the most effective disinfectant. It was hypothesised that antibacterial would be the least effective which is supported in the average results. What was found…

After analysing the data it is revealed that natural disinfectant, Tea Tree Oil weren’t as effective at inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis compared to Dettol. This is show in the data displayed above in both the Table and Graph. From the data collected it was discovered that tea tree oil wasn’t the best chemical to use to inhibit the growth of the bacteria. It was found that on all three of the agar plates almost all of the surface area around the paper disk was inhibited.…

This paper will discuss two different issues disinfectants and antimicrobial agent susceptibility testing/resistance. To better understand disinfectants we will further explore topics such as: the meaning of bactericidal, bacteriostatic, virucidal, and fungistatic; the importance of using a control culture when evaluating disinfectants; factors that can impact the activity of disinfectants; microorganism having different responses to disinfectants; and identifying the microorganism susceptible…

Incorporating this writer’s proposed solution of using alcohol disinfectant caps (ADCs) to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) or any new evidence-based practice (EBP) into an organization is a multi-step process that includes: planning, engaging, implementing, and evaluating (Spring, Ferguson, Pender & Starin, 2011). This paper will focus on creating an ADC implementation plan, including methods used to obtain approval and procure proposal support; a background on…

Antibiotics and disinfectants are both used to kill and prevent the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics come from the fungi family and are commonly used to kill bacteria. While each antibiotic works differently for particular bacterias, all of them either target physiological pathways to enable the disruption and killing of bacteria or it inhibits of cell growth ((of prokaryotic cells)). The physiological pathways are genetic and biochemical (act in converting to mediate bacterial response to an…
