Bactericidal activity is the ability of a chemical to be highly effective in treating bacteria. This characteristic is extremely important for many drugs used in medicine.
In simple words, this means that the antibacterial agent is capable of destroying pathogenic bacteria. Bactericides are chemical agents with disinfecting properties that are widely used in the medical field.
All antibacterial drugs are divided into two large groups: Antibiotics are low-molecular compounds of organic origin produced by living cells of special types of soil or aquatic microorganisms (prokaryotes or eukaryotes), or by specific microorganisms or secreted by specially developed strains of such organisms.
