SANYTOL, the expert in disinfection without bleach, kills 99,9% of Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses.
Bacteria are living micro-organisms capable of reproducing on their own through cell division.
Not all are dangerous. There are good bacteria essential for humans, such as those present in the digestive tract, allowing digestion or the production of vitamin K, etc. There are also those used in the process of waste water treatment, in the food industry in the manufacture of yoghurt or cheese and in the industrial production of medicines. But there are also bad bacteria, called pathogens, which can cause infections and diseases. There are about a hundred pathogenic species out of every 5,000.
In water, soil, plants, air, food and even on our hands; bacteria are everywhere. There are so many of them that it has been calculated that there are 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells in the human body!
In the home, bacteria thrive in hot, humid and busy places. They are thus mainly found in toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, on objects (switches, keyboards, telephones, etc.) and even on laundry.
But beware of misconceptions; some bacteria like listeria are able to grow at very cold temperatures like inside the refrigerator.
Fungi are micro-organisms that are not mobile or hardly move, made up of cells with nuclei that produce very large, fluffy colonies. There are very large varieties of fungi such as moulds or yeasts.
Fungi are widely used in food and the biotechnology industry, in particular for fermentation, the production of enzymes or the production of antimicrobials, green technologies or pollution control for their ability to detoxify our environment (water, air or soil).
Yeasts in particular (single-cell fungi) are used in the manufacture of wine, beer, bread and antibiotics.
However, fungi can cause some illnesses.
Fungi feed on organic matter or as a parasite in a host. They are thus found on skin, nails, food (fruits, vegetables, etc.). Fungi spores are also found in the air, and can infect the respiratory tract. As for mould, it is frequently found in damp areas and sheltered from the sun, such as the bathroom or the kitchen.
Viruses are the most numerous microbes. There are approximately 1032 of them on planet Earth.
Unlike bacteria, they are not alive and cannot reproduce on their own. They need to get inside a living cell in order to multiply and spread throughout the body.
Inside a sick person’s cells. We generally find them:
