Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
DEF

An agent that causes bacteriostasis.

OBS

bacteriostasis: Inhibition of the growth of bacteria without destruction.

CONT

The impervious nature of rubbers and plastics often results in the accumulation of sweat on the inner surface. The subsequent bacterial or fungal decomposition on the inner surface can cause hand irritation. To overcome this, cotton fibre linings are often incorporated into the glove to provide a degree of ventilation. As well, bacteriostats can be incorporated into the rubber or plastic.
