Antibacterial soap

The first antibiotic to be used successfully in the treatment of human disease was tyrothicin. Also, Penicillin is the most well-known antibiotic and has been used to fight many infectious diseases. Antibiotics can be classified in several different ways. The most common method classifies them according to their action against the infecting organism, which attacks the cell wall or cell membranes. (www.howstuffworks.com) .
             The immune system is a complex, intricate and interesting part of the body. It is an amazing protection system for your body. For the most part, when something dies in your body, its immune system shuts down. Once the infection enters the body, it is filled with germs and diseases, which the body finds hard to fight and is soon found dead. (www.howstuffworks.com).
             Soaps and Detergent (detergent usually refers to synthetic detergents). A detergency is a formulation comprised of essential constituents and subsidiary constituents. A synthetic detergent is a material that is more commonly used for cleaning things other than the human body. Detergents are used more for household measures, like laundry, washing dishes and mopping floors, etc. The biggest advantage detergent has over soap is that it has the ability to clean effectively even in hard water. (www.chemistry.co.nz/deterghistory.htm).
             Regular soaps and antibacterial soaps contain many of the same ingredients as detergent but are used for many different purposes. Regular soaps are used for shampooing hair and brushing teeth, etc. Antibacterial Soaps are very similar to regular soaps except that they have a few additional ingredients such as Triclosan, Triclocarbon or germicides. These ingredients are added to regular soaps to give them an additional use in killing germs or bacteria. One very important and unrecognized aspect of using Antibacterial soap is that it needs to be left on the surface being cleaned for at least two minutes in order to work properly.
