Antiseptics kill bacteria in bacterial infections. They also prevent any other germs from entering the site of the infection such as in a cut.
One of them was Carbolic aid made by Joseph Lister
Antiseptics, such as alcohol, don't actually kill bacteria but usually prevent them from growing/reproducing. They change the environment and reduce the "food" supply. Other antiseptics can destroy bacteria by attacking their cell membrane.
No, antiseptics are topical agents used on skin surfaces to prevent infection. They are not typically administered by subcutaneous injection. Antiseptics work by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms like bacteria.

Antiseptics are typically made up of various chemicals or natural substances, such as alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, or chlorhexidine. These ingredients work to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the skin or in wounds, helping to prevent infection.

Antiseptics are specifically designed for use on living tissues to prevent infection, while bleach is a strong chemical that can be harmful or damaging to skin and mucous membranes. Antiseptics are milder and safer for use on wounds, cuts, and skin. Bleach is more suitable for disinfecting surfaces and objects rather than for direct skin application.
Antiseptics are used on living tissues to prevent infection, while disinfectants are used on non-living surfaces to kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms. Antiseptics are typically less harsh than disinfectants and are safe for use on skin. Disinfectants are typically stronger and designed for use on surfaces like countertops, floors, and medical instruments.
Who is the person associated with this statement? Discovered a way to prevent infectin after surgery? Dr. Joseph Lister
Only infection, which was discovered by that time was HIV infection.
