Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Triclosan is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial fatty acid synthesis.Triclosan, similar in its uses and mechanism of action to triclocarban, is an antibacterial and antifungal agent found in consumer products, including toothpaste, soaps, detergents, toys, and surgical cleaning treatments. Its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent, the risk of antimicrobial resistance, and its possible role in disrupted hormonal development remain controversial.
