Most researchers especially students who is in the doctorate phase , ask this question.
Benzalkonium chloride antibacterial substance usage why do not we change with another one.I think we should do it for many reasons. For instance: Annually get-in the back-order(For widely using on the worlwide), expensive and heard that it is toxical.
I think the answer is connected with your using aim. Which species (human, cat, dog, fish or etc.), region of body, species of agent (gram negative, gram positive, mycoplasma etc.) do you want to use? And also that could be change for bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity that you want. If you want to use any antimicrobial for human or animal in general disease, you should use some of antimicrobial agents both oral and topical. But you should find the answer by taking into consideration of what you want.
Good work.
