3. Which disinfectant would you choose if you were trying to kill both bacterial species? (In other words, which chemicals works the most effectively against both species tested?)

4. Which disinfectant is the least successful against each bacterial species? (You should have an answer for the least effective against Gram positives and an answer for the least effective against gram-negatives- it may or may not be the same chemical.)
