What is the difference between antimicrobial and antibacterial?
The main differences lie within “how many” and “what kinds” of pathogenic (disease-causing) microbes an antimicrobial or antibacterial product kills. Antibacterial formulas kill limited quantities and types of bacteria. Formulated to meet the stringent cleanliness requirements of laboratory and hospital environments, our antimicrobial products far surpass antibacterial solutions by killing a significantly higher percentage and much broader spectrum of germs including fungi, yeast, mold, bacteria, viruses, and some parasites.
