Antiseptics in the era of bacterial resistance: a focus on povidone iodine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics makes the management of superficial skin infections a major medical challenge. Antiseptics have broader spectrums of antimicrobial activity and a reduced potential for selection of bacterial resistance, relative to antibiotics. Consequently, antiseptics are appropriate alternatives to antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of superficial skin infections.

Background and Aim: Preparing the skin for surgery with antiseptics is a standard measure to reduce surgical site infection. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of skin preparation at the surgical site with povidone-iodine 7.5% and povidone-iodine 10% antiseptics with chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine 10% on the microbial count. Methods: This clinical trial study was performed on 80 patient...

متن کاملAnalysis of the adaptation capacity of Staphylococcus aureus to commonly used antiseptics by microplate laser nephelometry.
BACKGROUND Bacterial colonization and infection are important factors in compromised wound healing. Antiseptics have become an alternative for antimicrobial applications as antibiotic resistance is increasing; they have multiple targets with a broad spectrum of activity. Hence, the risk for developing resistance should be low. However, concerns have been raised that their growing use may result...

Ophthalmia neonatorum is generally defined as conjunctivitis occurring within one month of life. The sources of this infection are environmental organisms or the organisms colonized in the birth canal. Untreated infection can cause blindness, especially if the corresponding organisms areNeisseria gonorrhoeae, or Chlamydia trachomatis. Povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution is an effective antib...
