Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Germicides are chemicals or agents that can kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are commonly used as disinfectants to clean and disinfect surfaces, instruments, and equipment in healthcare, laboratories, and other settings. However, germicides may not necessarily be sterilizing agents, which are capable of completely destroying all forms of microbial life, including spores. Vaccinations and aseptic measures are not considered germicides.
