Washing your hands with soap, water helps prevent disease, infection
www.fda.gov
There's no evidence OTC antibacterial soaps prevent disease more than washing with plain soap and water. Some antibacterial drugs can do more harm than good.

    Then what do people mean when they say normal soap and antibacterial soap and how does that affect what I should be using after handling raw meat or just going to the toilets etc?

      “Antibacterial” is somewhat of a marketing gimmick. Yeah, those have extra microbial killing chemicals, but plain soap kills plenty well enough, pops their little lipid walls.
