Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antiseptics and disinfectants do eliminate microorganisms like antibiotics. First, antibiotics usually are expected to reach the bloodstream to produce their antimicrobial effects. Antiseptics and disinfectants are never intended for internal use; even mouthwashes are not expected to be swallowed. Secondly, antibiotics, even though they may be broad spectrum, are frequently targeted at a specific microorganism during treatment. When antiseptics and disinfectants are used, it is to eliminate multiple organisms at one time.
