    Study Notes

    Overview of Antiseptics and Disinfectants

    • Antiseptics are agents that kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms on living tissue, with either a cidal or static effect.
    • Disinfectants prevent transmission or infection by destroying pathogenic microorganisms on inanimate objects.
    • Inorganic substances like halogens, oxidizing agents, acids and alkalis, metallic salts, and cationic surfactants are used as antiseptics and disinfectants.
    • Alcohol denatures important proteins and carbohydrates in microorganisms and is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant.
    • Ethylene oxide is used to sterilize temperature-sensitive medical equipment and drugs, but is extremely toxic and carcinogenic.
    • Aldehydes such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde are used for disinfection and sterilization, with specific mechanisms of action.
    • Phenols and their derivatives have germicidal activity, expressed in the phenol coefficient, and denature bacterial proteins at low concentrations.
    • Specific phenol derivatives like p-chlorophenol, p-chloro-m-xylenol, thymol, eugenol, and hexylresorcinol have various antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
    • Oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide and metal peroxides are effective against anaerobic bacteria but have poor penetrability into infected tissues and organic matter.
    • Carbamide peroxide and benzoyl peroxide are stable complexes used for topical treatment of mouth ulcers, dental care, and acne.
    • Each type of antiseptic and disinfectant has specific uses, mechanisms of action, and potential side effects.
    • Understanding the properties and applications of different antiseptics and disinfectants is crucial for effective and safe use in medical and hygiene practices.
