What diseases are prevented by disinfectants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disinfectants: Well this is a complicated Q- since there are a number of different types of disinfectants (think bleach, ammonia compounds, alcohol based, iodine based etc) AND many, many types of microbes- from the viruses (different kinds of those) to bacteria (a whole universe of different organisms) and even infectious proteins (prions) which are tough to kill with disinfectants alone.
