Is GentleCare effective against C-Diff (Clostridium Difficile)?
GentleCare formulated with MicroDerm is effective against the C-Diff (Clostridium Difficile) bacteria in the vegetative state, which can ultimately develop into a spore. Spore Definition A spore is a reproductive cell produced by plants (fungi, moss, ferns) and some protozoa and bacteria. The spore often fully develops after a state of dormancy or hibernation. Certain bacteria produce spores as a defensive mechanism. Bacterial spores have thick walls and are very resistant to high temperatures, humidity, and other unfavorable conditions. Information Chemical disinfection kills bacteria, but does not destroy their spores. Sterilization destroys spores as well as bacteria, and requires high temperatures and high pressures. In health care settings, sterilization is usually accomplished using a device called an autoclave.
