I agree that there is a growing resistance to the phenolic compound, triclosan. However, it does depend on the presentation of the product. Aquasept is a 2% solution of triclosan in water. Another version, Manusept, contains 0.5% triclosan and 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Studies have shown that Manusept is far more effective because of the alcohol content. Furthermore, the majority of alcohols continue to be very effective bactericidal agents. One of the best bug-killers is the mouthwash, Listerine. the stuff kills virtually all bacteria it comes into contact with because of the high alcohol content and I've used the stuff on skin in an emergency.
Personally, I prefer to rely on good old chlorhexidine or povidone iodine. The chlorhexidine versions in alcohol such as Hibisol are about the best skin bactericidal agents available in my view. If a sufactant is needed, I use the versions with cetrimide.
Unquestionably, washing with soap or antibacterial soap does remove more bacteria from hands than warm water alone. However, if a soapless solution containing a QAC was used as a handwash, bacterial spores would survive. It would then be down to the warm water to flush these spores off the skin.
