In this age of health, anti-bacterial products have sprung into the market, entering thousands of households. Consumers tend to choose commodities with anti-bacterial markers with good health expectations. However, a hidden but far-reaching fault zone exists: antibacterial tests of products are all representative of a single bacteria.
The world of bacteria is complex and diverse beyond imagination. In terms of living scenes, intestinal pathogens such as coli and salmonella can grow on the kitchen board with fresh food cut-off residues, threatening food security at all times; in the wet corners of the bathroom, fungus, green fungus, etc., are sprawling, causing skin infections and irritation; and on clothing, sheets, golden grapes, white meds, etc., are subject to dermal allergy and inflammation. Different bacteria have different characteristics of survival, disease-causing mechanisms and modes of transmission.
Antibacterial testing was originally designed to measure precisely the true ability of the product to withstand bacteria. Under the formal process, the laboratory conducts tests on the basis of product use and selects multi-representative bacteria. In the case of anti-bacterial handwashing, for example, in addition to detecting the effects of the extinction of the golden sepsis, which often causes skin sepsis and direct harm, the effects on the coliform are also examined, and in view of the exposure of the hands to external objects, a slight lack of attention may cause a disease through the mouth. Only when the polybacterial test is met can the hand-washing fluid be shown to have a more comprehensive anti-bacterial capacity to effectively guard hands in the “bacterial battlefield” of everyday life.
However, a number of undesirable traders “play the eye” when they are sent for inspection or publicity in order to save money and reduce costs. Only one easily suppressed bacteria is selected for testing, and when good data are available, the product is widely publicized for its antibacterial performance. For example, a plastic toy that claims to have anti-bacterial efficacy is only experimentally designed for a relatively weak scrawl bacterium, which is reported to be “accomplished”, but when children play, the toy is exposed to saliva, sweating water, ingested with a hand-and-hand oral virus, the intestinal virus 71 type, and drug-resistant fungus fungus, with no recourse and an instant collapse of antibacterial cords.
This Zone poses many risks to consumers. At the household level, if only a bacterial test results are used to select an antibacterial product, and if only the inhibition of a common skin fungus determines that a bedding is safe, other potentially pathogenic microorganisms, such as pyromococcus, long-term contact in the sleep skin, allergies and itching problems may be overlooked. In the medical context, the risk of infection is increased dramatically after an anti-bacterial test of a medical device, which is effective only for ordinary bacteria and “lost” in the face of drug-resistant, highly pathogenic anaerobic bacteria, such as the hard sorbacterium.
In order to break through the fault zone and to select anti-bacterial products, consumers cannot simply look at single-bacterium detection spots promoted by the business, view the complete test report upon request, focus on the results of tests for different types of highly pathogenic bacteria, and refer more to the evaluation of the use of specialized institutions and other users and view the actual performance of the product from side to side. The regulatory authorities are to strengthen the monitoring of anti-bacterial product testing standards, require enterprises to conduct comprehensive screening of polybacteria for their product use and impose severe penalties for false propaganda. At the same time, they are to promote general awareness of the diversity of bacteria and the importance of comprehensive antibacterial testing, and to work together to break the “single-bacterium detection almighty” bubble so that antibacterial products can be truly effective in safeguarding health.
