Article Synopsis
- Biocides are widely used to fight microorganisms but Pseudomonas aeruginosa is showing increasing resistance to them; this study assessed the effectiveness of four common biocides against these strains.
- A total of 76 clinical isolates were tested for their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against chlorhexidine digluconate, benzalkonium chloride, triclosan, and formaldehyde, with significant findings on resistance genes using PCR.
- The study found that chlorhexidine digluconate was the most effective biocide, but highlighted the need for ongoing monitoring due to the high prevalence of resistance genes among the P. aeruginosa strains tested.
