Antimicrobial resistance AMR is the ability of a microorganism like bacteria, to prevents an antimicrobial like
antibiotics and antiviral from working against it. This prevents standard treatment and infections may continue to spread.

Triclosan is an ingredient added to many consumer products like soap and toothpaste to reduce or prevent bacteria. Bacteria like E. coli has become more resistant to triclosan.

Triclosan is found in domestic products for cleaning. The link between quinolone and triclosan resistance is important as triclosan has become common in the environment and human tissues.

Quinolone resistance mutation changed how bacteria arrange their DNA in a cell and these mutants had also turned on various self-defence mechanisms.

Using of bleach, soap and water after disinfectants may be more effective because some of the antimicrobial ingredients for disinfectants are gathered in the environment where they are altering ecosystems and promoting selection of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
