Excerpt

Chlorhexidine (CHG) is a biguanide cationic antiseptic molecule, which has been incorporated into mouthwash solutions, dental gels, dressings, washcloths and central venous catheters (CVC). It has become the first-choice antiseptic to reduce healthcare-associated infections. However, the widespread use of CHG has raised concerns about increasing rates of resistance and cross-resistance to antibiotics. In this short review the antimicrobial characteristics of CHG including microbial resistance and its main clinical applications in ICU are presented. …
