germicidal

This immunity is caused by the formation of a germicidal substance in the blood, due to the introduction of the virus.

Of the same family are the "ethicals" Acetozone and Keimol, as shown by their germicidal claims.

Hydrocyanic Acid is frequently used as an insecticide in ships, mills, and greenhouses, but its germicidal power is weak.

Nothing is known as to the cause of this apparent germicidal action.

Some determinations were made of the germicidal power of Formamint in vitro, that is, under controlled laboratory conditions.
