Abstract:Biocidal (microbicidal) products play a critical role in controlling microorganisms in healthcare, industrial, community and home environments. There is, however, concern that their use and misuse might contribute to the evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). When evaluating the risk associated with biocides, it is important to adopt an objective approach towards the evidence regarding both the benefits of their appropriate deployment as well as potential contribution to AMR. Biocide use should be restri… Show more
