Article Abstract
Background/objectives: rapidly acquires antibiotic resistance and demonstrates increasing tolerance to antiseptics. This study evaluated the activity of eight antiseptics against , assessed its ability to develop adaptation to these antiseptics, and, for the first time, determined the Karpinski Adaptation Index (KAI) for this bacterium.
Methods: The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), susceptibility to antibiotics, bactericidal time according to EN 1040:2005, adaptation potential, and KAI of strains were evaluated.
Results: The most effective antiseptics against , based on MIC activity, were octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT; mean MIC 11.3 ± 4.5 µg/mL), polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB; MIC 22.6 ± 8.0 µg/mL), and chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX; MIC 26.6 ± 14.4 µg/mL). Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and ethacridine lactate (ET) showed moderate activity, while boric acid (BA), povidone-iodine (PVI), and potassium permanganate (KMnO) exhibited the weakest MIC activity. MIC values for NaOCl (95 ± 15.4 µg/mL) and KMnO (>10 mg/mL) were close to or exceeded the clinical concentrations used in commercial products. OCT, CHX, and PVI exhibited the fastest bactericidal effect within 1 min. Bactericidal times were up to 15 min for PHMB, up to 60 min for ET, and more than 60 min for BA, NaOCl, and KMnO. The lowest KAI values, indicating a low resistance risk, were observed for OCT (0.12), PHMB (0.19), and BA (0.19). Moderate resistance risk was noted for PVI (0.21), CHX (0.29), and ET (0.47). The highest KAI values, signifying a very high resistance risk, were found for NaOCl (1.0) and KMnO (≥1.0).
Conclusions: Antiseptics like OCT, CHX, and partially PVI can be critical in quick antibacterial action on infected wounds, while agents such as PHMB might be reserved for cases where prolonged contact times are possible. Given the rapid adaptation of to the clinical concentrations of NaOCl and KMnO currently in use, reconsideration of their effectiveness in treating skin and mucous membrane infections is recommended.

Article Synopsis
- Adaptation of fungal strains to antiseptics can undermine the effectiveness of antibiotics, yet previous studies have not focused on this area.
- This study evaluated how fungal strains adapted to eight different antiseptics, finding that octenidine and chlorhexidine were the most effective, while others showed varying levels of effectiveness.
- The research indicated that while most antiseptics retained their efficacy, sodium hypochlorite and potassium permanganate risk losing effectiveness due to adaptation, especially at clinical concentrations.
Groundwater As Removal by As(III), Fe(II), and Mn(II) Co-Oxidation: Contrasting As Removal Pathways with O, NaOCl, and KMnO.

Effective arsenic (As) removal from groundwater is a pressing need in view of increasingly stringent As drinking water limits in some US states and European countries. In this study, we compared the addition of weak (O), intermediate (NaOCl), and strong (KMnO) groundwater oxidants on the fate of As during As(III), Fe(II), and Mn(II) co-oxidation. Experiments were performed with 50 μg/L As(III), 5 mg/L Fe(II), and 0.

We assessed sodium persulfate (NaSO), potassium permanganate (KMnO), and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for impacts on the abundance of microbial communities and CH production in liquid dairy manure. Liquid dairy manure treated with different rates (1, 3, 6, and 9 g or mL L slurry) of these chemicals or their combinations were incubated under anoxic conditions at 22.

Chemical oxidations are routinely employed in soil science to study soil organic matter (SOM), and their interpretation could be improved by characterizing oxidation effects on SOM composition with spectroscopy. We investigated the effects of routinely employed oxidants on SOM composition in a Mollic Xerofluvent representative of intensively managed agricultural soils in the California Central Valley. Soil samples were subjected to oxidation by potassium permanganate (KMnO), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and hydrogen peroxide (HO).
