Antiseptic are agents used topically on the body, intended to destroy fungi, bacteria, virii and other biological pathogens. These are discrete from antibiotics, which may be injested and may also act systemically, and from disinfectants, which are not intended to be applied directly to a living entity. Typically, antiseptics are oxidants (such as hydrogen peroxide), dessicants (such as rubbing alcohol), lipid dissolvers or detergents (such as soap), and other more exotic categories.
