Bacterial target sites for biocide action: ANTIBACTERIAL MECHANISMS OF ACTION OF BIOCIDES
Abstract
1. Summary, 16S 2. Introduction, 16S 3. Micro‐organisms and biocides, 17S 4. Mechanisms of action of biocides: overall target sites, 18S 4.1 Bacterial inactivation and mechanisms of action: the η‐value, 18S 4.2 Biocide–micro‐organism interactions, 19S 4.2.1. Interactions with outer cell components, 19S 4.2.2. Interactions at the cell cytoplasmic membrane level, 20S 4.2.2.1. Disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane, 20S 4.2.2.2. Dissipation of the proton motive force, 21S 4.2.2.3. Interactions with other enzymatic systems, 21S 4.2.3. Interactions with cytoplasmic constituents, 21S 4.2.3.1. Interactions with cell nucleic acids, 21S 4.2.3.2. Interactions with cell ribosomes, 22S 4.2.3.3. Interactions with other cell constituents, 22S 5. Mechanism of action of biocides: random detrimental effects or specific target sites?, 22S 5.1 Random detrimental effects to the bacterial cells, 22S 5.2 Specific target sites, 23S 5.3 Biocide concentration: a key issue, 23S 6. Conclusions, 23S 7. References, 24S Although biocides have been used for a century, the number of products containing biocides has recently increased dramatically with public awareness of hygiene issues. The antimicrobial efficacy of biocides is now well documented; however, there is still a lack of understanding of their antimicrobial mechanisms of action.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
