Alcohol can effectively kill many types of bacteria and viruses, including some pathogens responsible for infections. However, the bacterium that causes the plague, Yersinia pestis, is primarily transmitted through fleas or direct contact with infected animals or humans. While alcohol may reduce the presence of bacteria on surfaces, it is not a reliable method for treating plague infections in the body. Proper medical treatment, including antibiotics, is essential for effectively managing plague infections.

Does alcohol kill bacteria in sore throat?
Highly concentrated amounts of alcohol (70% and higher) can kill bacteria by damaging the plasma membrane and denaturing proteins within the cell. Gram-negative bacteria are more vulnerable to alcohol because they contain a thin peptidoglycan cell wall covered by an outer membrane. The outer membrane controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell. Alcohol dissolves the outer membrane. This allows substances that are normally blocked by the membrane to easily enter the cell through the thin peptidoglycan cell wall. In addition, cell contents leak out of the cell through the cell wall. Gram-positive cells lack outer membranes and rely solely on thick peptidoglycan cell walls to protect them from the environment but can still be killed by alcohol.
