|Section2= |Section6= |Section7= }} Triclosan, similar in its uses and mechanism of action to triclocarban, is an antibacterial and antifungal agent found in consumer products, including soaps, detergents, toys, and surgical cleaning treatments. Its efficacy as an antimicrobial agent,the risk of bacterial resistance and its possible role in disrupted hormonal development remain controversial. Additional research seeks to understand its potential effects on organisms and environmental health. == Uses == Triclosan was used as a hospital scrub in the 1970s. Since then, it has expanded commercially and is now prevalent in soaps (0.10-1.00%), shampoos, deodorants, toothpastes, mouth washes and cleaning supplies. It is part of consumer products, including kitchen utensils, toys, bedding, socks and trash bags.〔 In healthcare, triclosan is used in surgical scrubs and hand washes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/05/briefing/2005-4098B1_02_03-FDA-TAB1.pdf )〕 Use in surgical units is effective with a minimum contact time of approximately two minutes. More recently, showering with 2% triclosan has become a recommended regimen in surgical units for the decolonization of patients whose skin carries methicillin-resistant ''Staphylococcus aureus'' (MRSA). Triclosan has been employed as a selective agent in molecular cloning. A bacterial host transformed by a plasmid harboring a triclosan resistant mutant ''FabI'' gene (mFabI) as a selectable marker can grow in presence of high dose of triclosan in growth media. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「triclosan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
