No, glycerol is not considered an antimicrobial agent. It is a type of alcohol that is commonly used as a humectant or moisturizing agent in skincare products and pharmaceutical formulations.
An antimicrobial is an agent which destroys microbes or inhibits their growth, or prevents or counteracts their pathogenic action.

The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents is influenced by several conditions, including the concentration of the agent, the duration of exposure, and the presence of organic matter that may inhibit its activity. Additionally, the type of microorganism and its susceptibility to the agent, the pH of the environment, and temperature can also significantly impact antimicrobial efficacy. Furthermore, biofilm formation and microbial resistance mechanisms can reduce the effectiveness of these agents.
Broth dilution is a method used in microbiology to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antimicrobial agent. It involves serially diluting the antimicrobial agent in liquid growth medium (broth) containing the bacteria being tested. The lowest concentration of the antimicrobial agent that inhibits visible bacterial growth is considered the MIC.

Bactericidal antimicrobial agents kill the microbe, whereas bactericidal agents inhibit the growth of the microbe. Chloehexidine is an agent that kills bacteria, thus, it is considered a bactericidal antimicrobial agent.

Antimicrobial agent.
An antimicrobial is an agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. They classified according to their function. Agents that kill microbes are called microbicidal, while those that merely inhibit their growth are called microbiostatic.
Factors that affect the efficiency of antimicrobial agents include the type of microorganism being targeted, the concentration of the antimicrobial agent, the duration of exposure, the presence of biofilms or resistant strains, and the method of administration. Other factors can include pH levels, temperature, and the surrounding environment.
