Antimicrobials

Antimicrobials are substances used to fight off and kill microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are used to prevent and treat microbial infections, and are integral in protecting human health. Antimicrobials have been used for thousands of years, and are found in many consumer products such as soaps, toothpastes, and hand sanitizers. They are also used in the medical field to treat infections and in the food industry to protect foods from spoilage. Antimicrobials play a key role in helping to maintain public health and are essential for the proper functioning of society.
