Alcohol can penetrate the bacterial cell membrane and disrupts the membrane structure, leading to leakage of cell contents and ultimately cell death. This disruption of the cell membrane interferes with the bacteria's ability to function and survive.
No, it's chemically a Bacteria
Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol), the alcohol found in rubbing alcohol, is slightly better at killing bacteria than ethyl alcohol for E. coli and the bacteria in MRSA. Methyl alcohol, or methanol, is the weakest medical alcohol in terms of killing bacteria.

Alcohol can disrupt the cell membrane and denature proteins in bacteria, leading to cell death. It can also interfere with bacterial enzymes and metabolic pathways, further inhibiting their growth and reproduction. Overall, alcohol is a strong disinfectant because of its ability to destroy bacterial cells at a molecular level.
