How can bateriostatic and bactericidal disinfectants be distinguished?
Bacteriostatic disinfectants inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria without killing them, while bactericidal disinfectants kill bacteria. Bacteriostatic disinfectants may not eliminate all bacteria, but they can prevent their proliferation. On the other hand, bactericidal disinfectants are more effective at completely destroying bacteria.
Is chlorhexidine bactericide or bacteriostatic agent?
