Can Antimicrobial Agents Kill New Coronaviruses?
Release time:2020-03-04

Can Antimicrobial Agents Kill New Coronaviruses? Shanghai Ecolin tells you.


I. Bacteria ≠ Virus:


First, the antimicrobial agent is targeted at bacteria, and the new coronavirus does not equal bacteria.


1, viruses are smaller than bacteria, viruses contain only a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), simple structure, must be parasitic in living cells and proliferate by replication. It's an acellular organism.


2. Bacteria: one of the main groups of living things, belonging to the domain of bacteria. Bacteria are cells, they have organelles, cell walls, DNA, they can synthesize their own enzymes, they can metabolize, they can divide and reproduce.


Two, antibacterial, sterilization, disinfection, bacteriostatic:


Anti-microbial is a generic term that includes both bactericidal and bacteriostatic bacteria.


Microbiocide: The process of killing microbial vegetarians and propagules in a system to be treated.


Disinfection: A process that destroys microorganisms in a disinfection system, usually ineffective against spores. Disinfectants do not need to kill all microorganisms in the system, they need to meet predetermined treatment requirements, usually removing or deactivating disease-causing and disease-causing microorganisms in the system.


Bacteriostasis: The action of inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, the process of inhibiting the activity of microorganisms in the system to be treated so that their reproductive capacity is reduced or stopped.


Three, the mechanism of antibacterial agent is not applicable to the virus...


Antimicrobial agents usually work by destroying the cell wall of a bacterium, disrupting its ability to divide and reproduce.


Viruses don't have cell walls.


Four, how to kill the new coronavirus:


Now known methods to kill the new coronavirus are:


1, 75% concentration of alcohol (spraying need to pay attention to safety, alcohol concentration is too high to dilute to 75% concentration, too high effect is not good.)


2, chlorine-containing disinfectants: such as 84 disinfectant, bleaching powder, chlorine-containing disinfectants or chlorine-containing effervescent tablets are chlorine-containing disinfectants.


3, peroxide: chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid these three categories are representative substances.


4, high temperature: 56℃ above 30 minutes can kill novel coronavirus.


5. Ultraviolet light can kill the new coronavirus.
