What kind of disinfectant spray stops bacteria?

Answer 1

DisinfectantsDisinfectants are bacteria killers...but don't forget to... READ THE DIRECTIONS!!! Contact time is the Number one issue! Contact time kills the little germs/ bacteria...did i say contact time!!! popular products that say anti bacterial are Anti bacterial, however they must have adaquate CONTACT TIME and be appropriate for the bacteria you want to kill.

Make sure the anti bacterial is safe for use around children or food products...oh did i say READ THE CONTAINER information!!! FIRST!!!Last Chance ...call the poison control center in Colorado ask them for the exact type you need

Mechanism of Pathogen Inactivation

The three primary mechanisms of pathogen inactivation are to:

1.. Destroy or impair cellular structural organization by attacking major cell constituents, such as

destroying the cell wall or impairing the functions of semi-permeable membranes;

2. Interfere with energy-yielding metabolism through enzyme substrates in combination with

prosthetic groups of enzymes, thus rendering the enzymes non-functional

3. Interfere with biosynthesis and growth by preventing synthesis of normal proteins, nucleic acids,

coenzymes, or the cell wall.

Depending on the disinfectant and microorganism type, combinations of these mechanisms can also

be responsible for pathogen inactivation. In water treatment, it is believed that the primary factors

controlling disinfection efficiency are: (1) the ability of the disinfectant to oxidize or rupture the cell

wall; and (2) the ability of the disinfectant to diffuse in

into the cell and interfere with cellular activity
