Abstract

Antiseptics and Disinfectants are widely used in hospitals and other health care centers to control the growth of microbes on both living tissues and inanimate objects. Different pathogens responded different antiseptics and disinfectants. The phenol coefficient was also done to check comparative account with antiseptic and disinfectant with reference to time of killing the pathogens. Antibacterial effects of the antiseptics and disinfectants were also concentration dependent.
