Antibacterial soap contains certain chemicals not included in plain soap, such as triclosan or triclocarban, which are meant to reduce or prevent bacterial infection.

In fact, theres no evidence that antibacterial soaps are any more effective at preventing illness than regular soap and water. Antibacterial soap tends to kill both good and bad bacteria, which may make antibiotics ineffective against new strains of bacteria.
