from animal product, plants and microorganism. Antibacterial agents may be bactericidal (killing
bacteri), bacteristatic (inhibit bacterial growth), and germicidal (inhibit germination of bacterial
spores). The ability of a substance antimicrobial in inhibiting bacterial growth is influenced by
various factors, including : The concentration, temperature, PH, the type, number , age, and state
of microbial.
