520 $aProvides descriptive background material covering the applications and various chemical and physical processes used for microbial control. An array of biocides is described, and the variables affecting their safe and effective use are detailed. The advantages, disadvantages, limitations, and correct applications of biocides and biocidal processes are discussed as well. The mechanisms of biocidal action on microorganisms are investigated, including an examination of the less-studied intrinsic and acquired mechanisms of resistance in viruses, prions, protozoa, and fungi. Further considerations are given to the mechanisms on intrinsic and acquired resistance to biocides and biocidal processes, including cross-resistance to antibiotics in bacteria and novel mechanisms in extremophiles.
