Biocide

A biocide is a disinfectant with a broad spectrum of activity, especially against bacteria and fungi. Microbial contamination could consist of bacteria, fungi, viruses or bacterial spores. Most biocides are not effective against bacterial spores, which pose a particular threat as they are so difficult to kill, and can lay dormant for extended periods of time.
