In this question, we have been asked that what is antimicrobial? and this we need to discuss in terms of the mechanism of action of the alcohol.
00:12
So, we need to discuss how alcohol acts as the antimicrobial.
00:16
So, basically alcohol denatures the protein.
00:22
This here disrupts the tissue membrane and dissolute the fat of the microbial cell.
00:35
There is ethanol that is usually used with a concentration between 60 to 95 percent volume by volume.
00:45
This here is used for the sterilization purpose.
00:51
So, in the antimicrobial property, what we do is we either kill the bacteria or we stop its protein synthesis.
01:01
So, this is what the antimicrobial does.
01:04
And the alcohol do it by denaturing the protein.
01:08
So, there can be the interpretation of the cell wall synthesis.
01:14
There can be the plasma membrane integrated disruption due to the antimicrobial...
