What is the possibility of your antibac line creating “superbugs” or antimicrobial resistance?
The active ingredient in Antibac, Thymol as a component of Thyme Oil, is widespread in nature and used in folk-medicine and cooking for thousands of years and there is no evidence that bacteria have become resistant. We are not aware of any information that suggests that Thymol is associated with the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Most experts believe that the emergence of antibiotic resistant superbugs is the result of the overuse of the antibiotics through over prescribing and as animal feed additives.
