#8 except with COVID and similar viruses. Regular soap does destroy the virus, not just wash it away.

Sue,

...it does so by breaking down the fatty layer around the virus cell wall and basically ripping it open, killing it. I think I read somewhere it takes just 22 seconds.

Elswood,By "killing", it is meant that the virus will be inactivated, unablr to maintain its structure and bind to cells for infecting them.

Efflux pumps are a really cool way for bacteria to get rid of harmful substances. Bacteria have used them for a long time, for a lot of different substances. They certainly predate prescription antibiotics by a lot. It’s also good to remember that it was nature, not us, who originally invented antibiotics. Like, if a bacteria gets all up in the face of a fungus, the fungus is going to protect itself. Many bacteria have these kinds of pumps from long ago, but our over-use of antibiotics just makes them more effective against modern drugs and more widespread.
