Disinfection is the set of measures used to prevent the entry and growth of microorganisms in an environment or structure, making them free of infectious agents, with the use of disinfecting substances or other physical forms of disinfection. Cleaning and disinfection are aimed at reducing the amount of pathogenic microorganisms.

Classification of antiseptics and disinfectants according to their chemical nature

 

Phenol and phenolic compounds: (eg hexachlorophene)

Effective against Gram-positives; Low active against Gram-negatives; Ineffective in the presence of blood.

 

Halogens

Chlorine derivatives (sodium hypochlorite) – act by inhibiting the activity of cellular proteins and DNA synthesis;

Lodine derivatives (iodopovidone, iodophor) – interact with enzymes and proteins, inhibiting them by oxidation reaction of –SH groups and by binding iodine to the –NH group of amino acids.

 

Metallic salts

Mercury compounds (merthiolate): combine with –SH from enzymes and inhibit their activity;

Silver salts (silver nitrate);

Zinc compounds (kill fungi);

Copper compounds (kill algae).

 

Oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate)

They oxidize membrane lipids and DNA.

 

Alcohols (ethanol)

Coagulate membrane proteins and lipids.

 

Quaternary ammonium compounds (1% Cetrimine, Benzalkonium)

Inactivate by the presence of organic material.

 

Chlorhexidine

It promotes structural and functional disorganization of the cytoplasmic membrane.

 

Ethylene oxide

Alkylating agent that inactivates enzymes and proteins;

Used in a non-explosive mixture with CO2 or halogenated hydrocarbons.
