Lysol works by disrupting bacterial proteins and the lipid membrane, it has a broad spectrum of action. Triclosan is a disinfectant that works by acting on a single specific protein that bacteria require to make an effective lipid membrane. Triclosan has a specific target and does not have a broad spectrum of action. Is a microorganism more likely to develop resistance to a disinfectant that has a broad spectrum of action such as lysol, or a disinfectant that has a specific target in a bacterial cell such as Triclosan?

A) A disinfectant that has a broad spectrum of action. B) A disinfectant that has a specific target in a bacterial cell.
