If rubbing alcohol is poured on a gauze pad can bacteria grow on this?
Rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl) is highly volatile -- it evaporates very quickly -- so while it's wet it will to some extent act as a bacteriocidal and bacteriostatic agent. But it won't do so for long. I will add that, if this gauze you speak of is attached to a human or animal, and is covering an open wound, you're likely to cause them a great deal of pain, and you won't effectively and completely sterilize the field. You're a lot better off changing the dressing and treating the wound.
