Which microbial agent is effective against yeast?

Fungicides are specifically designed to target and eliminate fungal organisms, including yeasts. Yeasts are a type of fungus, and they can cause a range of infections and spoilage issues in various environments. Fungicides work by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi or interfering with their ability to reproduce and grow. This makes them particularly effective in controlling yeast infections and other fungal-related problems.

In contrast, virucides are agents that destroy viruses, germicides are broad-spectrum chemicals that can kill various types of microorganisms (not specifically targeted toward yeast), and antibacterials are used to combat bacterial infections. While germicides and antibacterials may have some effectiveness against certain fungi in a broad sense, they are not specialized for yeast, making fungicides the optimal choice for targeting these specific microorganisms.
