Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Organism Susceptibility to Chlorhexidine Under Usual Clinical Care
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 April 2017
Abstract
Increasing use of daily chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing can potentially lead to selection for organisms with reduced susceptibility to CHG, limiting the utility of CHG. We examined reduced susceptibility to CHG of fluoroquinolone-resistant gram-negative bacilli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus. No evidence suggested reduced susceptibility to CHG.
