Small aromatic alcohols dissolve in the lipid bilayer and push the fatty acid chains apart. The membrane becomes leaky to ions and small molecules, the energy gradient across it collapses, and the cell cannot grow. The effect is reversible at low concentration if the agent is removed, and becomes lethal only at concentrations well above the preservative level.
The same mechanism underlies its weak local anaesthetic action, which is why some preserved injectables sting less.
The effectiveness test requires a thousandfold reduction in bacteria over a week, which the agent achieves by preventing multiplication while the inoculum dies off naturally and by killing a portion outright. The practical meaning is that an organism introduced into the vial does not proliferate; it is not that the vial sterilises whatever enters it.
Fungi are inhibited more slowly, and the test standard for them is only that they not increase.
Spores have no exposed membrane to disrupt. Endotoxin is a lipopolysaccharide fragment, not a living cell, and is unaffected. Viruses without envelopes are unaffected. The agent addresses one risk, bacterial growth after entry, and that risk only.
