Adaptive bacterial response to low level chlorhexidine exposure and its implications for hand hygiene

Adaptive bacterial response to low level chlorhexidine exposure and its implications for hand hygiene

Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG) is commonly used in healthcare, e.g. in skin antiseptics, antimicrobial soaps, alcohol-based hand rubs and oral or wound antiseptics. Aim of the literature review was to evaluate the potential of bacteria to adapt to low level CHG exposure. A maximum 4fold MIC increas...
