The halogen family is probably the answer- as hypochlorites (household bleach) and chlorine dioxide are commonly used. Many other non halogen compounds are disinfectants such as phenol, C6H5OH, potassium peroxymonosulfate, are also disinfectants- the halogen family does not have a monopoly.

Mercury is used in a wide variety of household products, including paint, thermometers, thermostats, batteries, fluorescent lamps, disinfectants, antiseptics, diuretics and preservatives. These items release mercury into the environment and home when broken, mishandled or disposed. Proper care is important when dealing with mercury-containing products. If spilled, mercury absorbs into many household materials while slowly evaporating into the air over time, allowing for exposure. Knowing what products and items contain mercury and handling them properly will limit the risk of mercury exposure. Common products often have a simple and environmentally friendly alternative.

Iron is composed of, as the name implies, metallic iron. This metal is prone to oxidation, which accounts for its tendency to rust. Rust chemically speaking, is hydrated iron(iii) oxide and iron (iii) oxide-hydroxide. Common household ferrite magnets, however, are not made of elemental iron metal. Instead, they consist of ceramic materials containing iron oxides. In these iron compounds, the iron has already been oxidized, so that it does not rust or react further.
ammonia, hydrogen peroxide

Household disinfectants kill microorganisms, but you can't ingest it. Antibiotics are specially manufactured in pharmaceutical industries and carefully tested before distributed to the drugstores. They are made on different presentations such as tablets, liquids that is suitable to be taken orally. Injections of antibiotics are more effective because they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and so they can fight infections more efficiently. Household disinfectants kill bacterias that usually don't cause serious disease, unless the immune system of a person is weakened, while antibiotics are specially developed to treat common or serious infections that were caught by people. Antibiotics can also treat skin infections and in this case, ointment or other forms can be prescribed
