| Résumé : |
The fact that microorganisms develop increasingly resistance to antibiotics poses the question of how far biocides used in preservatives, disinfectants and antimicrobial cosmetics can be affected by this phenomenon. The extent and level of the risks are laid out in a judgement by the DGK Microbiology and Hygiene Expert Group (german association for scientific and applied cosmetics).
Questions concerning the development of resistance by microorganisms to antimicrobial active substances, hereinafter described as biocides, are discussed against the backdrop of an increase in antibiotic resistance of microorganisms also in connection with the biocides used in preservatives, disinfectants and antimicrobial cosmetics. More particularly, there are fears that similar epidemiology of resistance might develop as for antibiotics, and even that cross-resistance to chemotherapeutic agents could be induced by biocides.
Proper discussion is often hampered by imprecise terminology. Hence, clear definitions of terms are necessary which are described here.
