Answer 2

Answer:

Antiseptic: An antiseptic is used on living tissues and cells to destroy any types of infections which may be living on the tissue. Disinfectants are meant to destroy microorganisms which can infect nonliving objects. Common antiseptics include mouthwash, and yeast infection treatment creams. Disinfectants are commonly found in household cleaning products for kitchens, bathrooms, and other commonly touched items where germs are found.

Disinfectants: Disinfectants are the antimicrobial agent that are used on the inanimate (non-living) objects to kill the microbes. We can’t apply disinfectant on the living tissues. Depending upon their spectrum disinfectants are mainly classified in to three different levels:

1. Low level disinfectant
2. Intermediate level disinfectant
3. High level disinfectant

Low level disinfectants: These are those disinfectants which are used to reduce or kill microbial population. Their efficacy is low as compared to other level, it means their spectrum is low.

Intermediate level disinfectants: These are those disinfectants which are used to kill microbial population. They have broad spectrum as compared to low level disinfectants means they are able to kill wide range of microbes but not necessarily kill the bacterial or fungal spores.

High level disinfectants: These are those disinfectants which are used to kill broad range of microorganisms. They are broad spectrum disinfectants and can kill bacterial and fungal spores. But for spores there is special class of disinfectants which claim for sporocidal activity. During purchase we need to check whether disinfectant is sporocidal or not as per requirement.
