Bacteria have learned to adapt to complex antiseptics, for 20 years, microorganisms have become 10 times resistant to alcohol. Sanitation means for the hands are used in hospitals since the beginning of this century, so their composition is somewhat outdated.

Previously, specialists believed that special fluids could stop the spread of dangerous microbes, particularly vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and Staphylococcus aureus. Despite the efforts of researchers, the bacteria developed resistance to antibiotics. Scientists believed that microorganisms can not adapt to alcohol, since the liquid instantly dissolves the outer membranes of the microbe.

The spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci increased five-fold, along with the multiplication of Staphylococcus aureus markedly decreased. Even with such indicators, experts say, more than half of the infected patients in medical institutions do not survive.
