Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Salmonella

On whether hydrogen peroxide can kill Salmonella
The world has asked: "Can hydrogen peroxide kill Salmonella?" To know the details, we should investigate the reason.

Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. Its role in microorganisms is due to the ability to produce active oxygen free radicals. This free radical is strong, can break the cell membrane of bacteria, destroy its protein and nucleic acid structure, and cause inactivation.

Salmonella, a common intestinal pathogen. It has strong survival in the environment, but it is also controlled by hydrogen peroxide. The evidence of the experiment shows that when the appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide is applied to the samples containing Salmonella, the number of bacteria gradually decreases. Due to the strong oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide, it invades the body and interferes with its metabolism, eventually causing bacterial death.

However, its effect is also related to various factors. The first is the concentration, low is weak, and it is difficult to prevent bacteria; high is strong, or cause environmental discomfort. Second, when the action is short, the bacteria are not completely destroyed, and the time can be reached. Furthermore, the temperature and pH of the environment also affect. High temperature is the reaction speed, and the pH difference can also change the activity of hydrogen peroxide.

From the perspective, hydrogen peroxide can indeed kill Salmonella under suitable conditions. However, it is necessary to use it carefully, adjust its concentration, control its time, and observe the environmental conditions, so that hydrogen peroxide can be used as much as possible to eliminate salmonella and maintain the health of the environment and people.
