Does it help kill some germs? Does antibacterial soap yield “superbugs” to survive after killing 99.99% of germs, thus should only be reserved for specific applications (like hospitals)?
In: Biology
I think normal soap is meant to just kill the basic germs that are more likely to get you sick. Antibacterial soap is typically used for dishes and in restaurants because they need to be sure they get the majority of the bacteria off of their hands. Antibacterial soap is meant to reduce any and every type of bacteria to as little as possible, good or bad. It’s hard to explain but hopefully this helped a little.
