Microbiology Part 2
  1. Describe what disinfectants, antiseptics, and antibiotics are and how they work
    1. Disinfectants
      1. These are usually quite strong substances
        1. used on non living things
          1. to reduce microbial growth
            1. e.g Janola
            2. Antiseptics
              1. Applied to Skin
                1. to reduce the amount of microbe numberes
                  1. e.g dettol
                  2. Antibiotics
                    1. are chemicals specifically designed by one organism to kill another
                      1. Discovered by Alexander Fleming
                        1. In 1928 Sir Alexander Fleming arrives home from 2 week holiday
                          1. left in sink petri dishes with bacteria in them
                            1. noticed that the mould was encircled by a ' clear yellow' substance
                              1. London was hit by cold spell- Fleming noticed Staphylococcus spread across plate except for the fungi secton
                                1. he deduced the mould released substance inhabited bacterial growth
                                  1. Discovered antibacterial substance not present in all molds
                                    1. Only in Penicillium notatum
                        2. Not effective against viral infections
                          1. antibiotics are designed to react to their allocated, particular bacteria
                      2. List some uses of microbes
                        1. Viruses
