A common misunderstanding with regard to anti-bacterial products is that very often there's a lack of information about the difference between bactericide and bacteriostatic products, an important and crucial difference for those who prescribe or think to use ceramic products of this kind. To give a brief summary, bactericides, like Bios cause the death of bacteria, hence the removal of microorganisms, while bacteriostatic products block bacteria proliferation and not their aggressive action. Another very important distinction is to be made between chemical synthesis and natural mineral anti-microbial products.
The most significant difference between natural mineral anti-microbial agents, such as those used in Bios and chemical synthesis anti-microbial is the aggression pattern. The chemical agents usually interact with a specific microbial site.
Natural mineral anti-microbial interact with several microbial sites using multiple aggression patterns; they basically choke the organism.
This is an extremely important difference since it relates closely to antibiotic resistance. Said resistance develops when the microbe finds a way to react to the attack pattern.
Since chemical synthesis anti-microbial use a single aggression pattern, the microbes stand a better chance to become resistant. Moreover, since many of those products use a similar aggression pattern, if a microbe develops a resistant to an agent, it is very likely to develop the same resistance to other agents with similar aggression patterns.
Chemical synthesis anti-microbial are also poorly effective against common types of bacteria, while inorganic, natural mineral agents, such as those used in Bios, are broad-range products and are able to remove a large variety of microbes.
