Can bacteria become resistant to antiseptics?!
Question: Can bacteria become resistant to antiseptics!?
I know bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics like penicillin, but can they become resistant to antiseptics like phenol or hydrogen peroxide!? If yes, then wouldn't washing surgery tools with these disinfectants be useless!?
By the way, I expect both parts to be answered, so if washing surgery tools with disinfectants is not useless even if the bacteria is resistant to them, then I expect an explanation why!. The last question I asked only got answered halfway which pissed me off to no end and if someone does that here they can forget about the being picked as the best answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
No they can't!. The thing that is different between antibiotics and antiseptics is that when using antibiotics you have to remember a person is ingesting them!. If you were to ingest a antiseptic you would die or at least be severly sick!.
So antibiotics can't be made as severly strong as antiseptics or else they would kills us!. Antiseptics however are only used on surfaces or objects, so they can be as strong and deadly as you want them to be or need them to be!.
By the way, maybe instead of being pissed that someone only answered 1/2 your question, you should just be gratefull someone tried to help before!. :) The glass is always 1/2 full!.

no they cant be resistant to disinfectants
but to disinfect instruments you need a certain period of time to soak the instruments inside the solution not just washing
the time depends on the type of the disinfectantWww@Answer-Health@Com
