This study aims to examine differences in the number of bacterial colonies after skin preparation using a combination 70% alcohol and 4% chlorhexidine gluconate with 10% povidone-iodine. used quasi-experimental method pre-post test design. The results showed decrease by 99.84% group gluconate, 99.77% povidone-iodine groups. While difference between two groups, there was no significant p-value 0...

The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial activities of Er,Cr:YSGG laser with two different power outputs against a chlorhexidine gluconate-based cavity disinfectant. A cavity tooth model test was used to determine the antibacterial activity. Four cylindrical cavities were prepared on the dentin surface of 10 bovine incisors and left in contact with Streptococcus mutans for 72 hour...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the histocompatibility of white (wmta) and gray (gmta) mineral trioxide aggregate mixed with 0.12% chlorhexidine (chx) and distilled water (dw) in subcutaneous connective tissues of rats. materials and methods: the freshly mixed wmta and gmta with chx or dw were inserted in polyethylene tubes and implanted into dorsal subcutaneous connectiv...

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of brief exposure to subtherapeutic concentrations of chlorhexidine gluconate on germ tube formation of Candida albicans isolates obtained from smokers, diabetics, asthmatics using steroid inhalers and healthy individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty isolates of C. albicans were used in this study. All these isolates wer...

The in vitro and in vivo activities of catheters coated with minocycline and rifampin and with chlorhexidine gluconate and silver sulfadiazine were evaluated. When incubated in serum at 37 degrees C, the half-life of the inhibitory activity of catheters coated with minocycline and rifampin was 25 days compared with 3 days for catheters coated with chlorhexidine gluconate and silver sulfadiazine...

BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent organism causing substantial morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. Chlorhexidine gluconate, a topical antiseptic solution, is effective against a wide spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including MRSA. Objectives To examine the impact of a bathing protocol using chlorhexidine gluconate and ...

BACKGROUND Protection of the catheter site by antimicrobial agents is one of the most important factors in the prevention of infection. Povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate are the most common used agents for dressing. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of povidone iodine, chlorhexidine gluconate and octenidine hydrochloride in preventing catheter related infections. ...

Objective To determine the toxicity of the potential fungicide chlorhexidine gluconate (as a pure 0.2% solution and as a commercially available skin antiseptic diluted to contain 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate) to the cornea and adjacent ocular structures. Methods An experimental study was performed at the Animal Facility of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Pure chlorhexidine gluconate 0....
