How can you use “microbicide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Effect of anionic polymeric microbicide candidates on the integrity of HIV-1 particles
Since heparin and other anionic polymers are known to inhibit blood clotting [ 55 ] , the effect of anionic polymeric microbicide candidates on blood clotting was measured.
To avoid this, CAP in micronized form (which does not aggregate at low pH), instead of CAP in soluble form is being considered as a topical microbicide [ 30 31 32 33 34 35 ] . Micronized CAP (Aquateric) was shown to be virucidal against HIV-1, herpesviruses and several nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens [ 30 31 32 33 34 ] . The virucidal activity of micronized CAP could at least partly be explained by its buffering capacity at low pH [ 40 ] since it is a free acid while other anionic polymeric microbicide candidates (except BufferGel, the active ingredient of which is Carbomer 974P [ 27 ] ) are sodium salts.
To the best of our knowledge, results reported here and earlier [ 8 ] represent the most detailed study on the mechanism of action of a polymeric anti-HIV-1 compound and offer new opportunities for microbicide research, including the design of combined microbicides with distinct target sites on HIV-1 and acting synergistically.
The answers to these questions would greatly enhance our understanding of HIV transmission and pathogenesis, and thus would provide further guidance toward an effective vaccine or microbicide.
