Using antibacterial soap for hand-washing is no more effective than plain soap, scientists in Korea have reported. The study, published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, examined the effect of triclosan on bacteria in two ways. First, the researchers looked at the bactericidal effects of triclosan in soaps against all 20 strains; and second, they compared the ability of antibacterial and non-antibacterial soap to remove bacteria from human hands, by using 16 healthy adult volunteers.
