Antibacterial soaps, disinfectants and antiseptics can result in more bacteria according to a blog on the MRSAid website.
Triclosan and triclocarbon should be avoided. Soap and water, or an alcohol-based cleanser are better options.
Antibacterials can create conditions that allow bacteria to proliferate and spread.
When chemicals are used to kill off the susceptible bacteria, the surviving resistant ones have extra space to reproduce and spread.
