Korean scientists tested the effect of triclosan on bacteria in two ways. In the first case, they studied its bactericidal effect twenty strains. In the second - with the help of twenty healthy adult volunteers compared the ability of antibacterial soaps with triclosan remove bacteria from human hands. The experiment showed that there is no difference between the effects of normal and antibacterial soap in the domestic environment.

Scientists simulated hand washing conditions, subjecting the bacteria exposed to triclosan konentratsiey 0, 3% (maximum allowable law country) for twenty seconds at a temperature of twenty-two degrees and forty degrees.
