Germicide

A germicide is a substance that kills microorganisms, especially pathogens.

Germicides belong to the group of antimicrobial drugs. They are used to destroy various microorganisms - bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.

Germicides differ from antibiotics in that they act indiscriminately, killing both pathogenic and beneficial microorganisms.

Germicides include substances such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, phenol and its derivatives. They are widely used in medicine as antiseptics and disinfectants.

Germicides are used for treating skin and mucous membranes, disinfecting instruments and premises, and sterilizing medical products. They help prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Germicides belong to a group of antimicrobial agents that are used to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Germicides include substances such as antibiotics, antiseptics and disinfectants.

Antibiotics are substances produced by microorganisms or obtained synthetically that, in low concentrations, inhibit the growth of bacteria or kill them.

Antiseptics are chemicals that destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on living tissues and skin. Antiseptics include such agents as alcohol, iodine, chlorhexidine, etc.

Disinfectants are used to destroy microorganisms on non-living objects - surfaces, tools, etc. These include chlorine-containing preparations, hydrogen peroxide, alcohols, etc.

Thus, germicides are an important class of antimicrobial substances that help fight infections and prevent the spread of diseases.



Germicides (Germicide) are an antiseptic drug for the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms. Germicides include antibiotics and combination drugs, for example, *trifluridine, trypsin* and *tesidine*. They are used in animals for purulent-inflammatory diseases caused by staphylococci or streptococci.
