The researchers found that the use of detergents is dangerous for humans, since it increases the resistance of pathogenic bacteria. Scientists conducted a large-scale experiment on bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus.

The results of the study showed that improper use of chemical disinfectants can increase the resistance of bacteria to treatment. The use of disinfectants, so-called biocides, in low concentrations, leads to the fact that bacteria not only do not die, but also form resistance to antibiotics in the future.

In experiments on bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus, scientists found that bacteria were mutated by exposure to low concentrations of biocides used in hospitals for disinfection.

Bacteria mutate and become resistant to a number of antibiotics. It is these bacteria that cause nosocomial infections. "Mutated bacteria pose a threat to patients, as they may be more resistant to treatment," the researchers said..

According to scientists, the continuous use of disinfectants can create strains of bacteria resistant to antibiotic therapy.
