Can bacteria deveop resistance to germicides like alcohol or bleach?

What are the features of Viruses?
1. Viruses are a cellular, non-cytoplasmic infectious agents. 2. They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter. 3. Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms. 4.All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells. 5.Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA. 6. Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms. 7. Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.

What is it called to be obsessed with hand sanitizer?
most sanitizers have quite a bit of alcohol to kill the germs. --------------------------- Germophobia... No it is a mental disorder OCD repeating an activity to rid anxiety over irashional fears e.g germs. .................................. I believe the above answers are suggesting an addiction more so than an obsession. In any case, the condition is probably bacteriaphobia, an exaggerated fear of bacteria (germs) which, by extension, could lead to an unnatural obsession with germicides such as hand sanitizers. yeah see what your saying but OCD isn't an addiction, it stand for Obsessive, Complusive, Disorder. And hygeine is a common one. e.g. Washing your hands over and over to make sure they ARE clean. the conditions you have mentioned al slightly fall under the category of OCD. but the bacteriaphobia seems most likely.
At what temperature does the flu virus die?
It is unknown the body temperature that kills the flu. However, the reason the flu is has been so prevalent this fall is because we did not have a typical hot summer. For the destruction of the swine and seasonal flu's we need to have a span of 85-plus degree days in the summer for 10-14 days. This is said to have killed the virus in the past.
What base is found in bathing g soap?
While both acids and bases work in similar ways when it comes to cleaning, there is a very good reason why the detergents we use are bases. In the early days, soap was made by mixing fat with certain chemicals. A fat shortage occurred, making it necessary to make a synthetic product to take the place of fat. What makes a base a better choice than an acid for detergent is that bases react with organic materials while acids react with metals.
Will Lysol kill germs in the air?
Yes! In addition, several chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and alcohols are effective against human influenza viruses if used in proper concentration for a sufficient length of time. For example, wipes or gels with alcohol in them can be used to clean hands. The gels should be rubbed into hands until they are dry. Influenza virus is destroyed by heat of 167-212°F [75-100°C].
