How should bacteriostasis, antibacterial and sterilization be understood?
We often see terms such as antibacterial, bacteriostasis and sterilization. After searching on the Internet, we found that everyone has different understandings and cannot agree on one.
Combining the common opinions and personal understanding on the Internet, I try to elaborate on these words. First of all, these words are related to inhibiting, resisting, and killing bacteria, so our evaluation and analysis of these words will also start from the effect on bacteria.
1. Literally understood
Simply speaking from the literal analysis, “bacteriostasis”, “inhibition” means suppression, “bacteriostasis” means inhibiting bacteria, inhibiting the growth, development, reproduction, etc. of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, so as to achieve the effect of inhibiting bacteria and controlling the harmful effects of bacteria. ;
“Bacteriostasis”, “anti” means to resist and fight, “bacteriostasis” means to resist the growth of bacteria and fungi, that is, to prevent and control the normal survival and smooth reproduction of bacteria by blocking reproduction, direct killing, etc.;
“Sterilization” is more straightforward. There are various methods of killing bacteria, including 1. blocking the synthesis of genetic material of bacteria; 2. affecting the synthesis process of bacterial ribosomal proteins and folic acid, making it impossible for bacteria to survive. Necessary structural proteins and enzymes; 3. Affect the formation of cell membranes, open ion channels on the cell membrane, and cause the flow of useful substances in the cells.
2. Strength and durability
The things described by these three words all help people fight against bacteria. Judging from the intensity of the resistance, I personally feel that from weak to strong, they are antibacterial, bacteriostatic, and sterilizing.
The so-called intensity can be described from two dimensions, one is the length of time, and the other is the proportion of destruction within a certain period of time.
For sterilizing products, we hope that the medicine will cure the disease and kill the bacteria quickly and completely in a very short time. Generally, they are injections, drugs and medical auxiliary products, such as antibiotics.
For antibacterial and bacteriostatic products, we expect it to be useful in itself. Targeting, killing and preventing and controlling bacteria are additional functions, and should continue to be effective for a long time. For example, antibacterial underwear, antibacterial flooring, antibacterial sanitary ware, tableware, antibacterial towels, etc.
3. Main functions and purposes
Bacterbinomy and bacteriostatic are more inclined to prevent nature auxiliary and health care. Sterilization is more inclined to heal the nature and immediate shadow;
For example, we use kitchen knives, cutting boards, and tableware with antibacterial or antibacterial functions, which can prevent bacteria from growing on the above items to a certain extent and prevent bacteria from invading our lives. Similarly, we can also use a disinfection cabinet to put the above items in and directly use high temperature or ultraviolet light to kill any bacteria that may be present on them.
After going out and returning home, our hands may be contaminated with some foreign bacteria that were not there before, and they may be pathogenic to us. We can wash our hands with clean water or fat soap, and then wipe them with an antibacterial towel to avoid contamination. Foreign bacteria will not cause foreign bacteria to breed and reproduce in large numbers on towels; for treatment of illness, before injecting, you can also wipe with medical alcohol to kill bacteria on the skin surface, and then inject; for skin trauma, you can also use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound. Kill bacteria…
