Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'virucidal': It refers to agents or disinfectants that specifically inactivate or destroy viruses.
Recall the classification of microorganisms: Bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses are distinct groups with different cellular structures and susceptibilities.
Recognize that virucidals target viruses, which are acellular infectious agents, unlike bacteria, protozoa, or fungi which are cellular organisms.
Differentiate virucidals from other disinfectants: For example, bactericidals kill bacteria, fungicides kill fungi, and so on.
Conclude that virucidals are used to kill viruses, not bacteria, protozoa, or fungi.
