What is the treatment for pneumonia with immunocompromised

Physical and chemical methods are used to control the microbes. Chemical methods are where chemicals are used to treat the surface or equipments in order to kill the microbes. These are often known as disinfectants, sterilizing agents and so on. The chemical methods used must not be a hazard to other organisms and the environment.

The advantages of using bisphenols, halogens, alcohols, and heavy metals to prevent microbes:<ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>They affect a large number of microbes and thus kill several species</li><li>They have differential mode of action and hence a combination of one or two kills most of the microbes</li><li>They affect the cell metabolism, micromolecules and thus disrupt the vital processes in microbes thus preventing their growth and spread.</li><li>Alcohols are cost effective.</li><li>Instrumentation is not required</li><li>Can be used in room temperature</li><li>Effective and quick control of microbes</li><li>Requires less skilled labor</li></ul>&nbsp;

The disadvantages of using bisphenols, halogens, alcohols, and heavy metals to prevent microbes:<ul><li>Widespread and frequent use of bisphenols such as triclosan has lead to an increase in triclosan-resistant bacterial strains. Triclosan accumulation in sewage leads to its eventual release into natural water bodies where it may kill the natural microflora of these waterbodies and thus being a threat to ecosystem. Recent researches have shown detectable concentration of triclosan in breast milk, urine, and plasma which denotes that it may disrupt immune system functions.</li><li>Biaccumulation ...</li></ul>
