Antiseptics and disinfectants are extensively used for a variety of topical hard-surface applications. A wide biocides as active chemical agents is found in these products, including alcohols, phenols, iodine, chlorine. Many demonstrate broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; however, the mode action not well-documented. This review focused on several examples ionic systems based surfactants liq...

The debate on the use of antiseptics or antibiotics in the local antibacterial treatment of burns is still open. In general, it is believed that antibiotics are responsible for the selection of resistant strains, while the same cannot be said of antiseptics when both antibiotics and antiseptics are applied to lesions in insufficient concentrations. The current literature offers many studies on ...

The recent COVID-19 pandemic provoked an outstanding increase of infection-control measures, with chlorhexidine becoming extensively used antiseptic. Allergic contact dermatitis to is considered as a rare event in children, often difficult identify, and its diagnosis misdiagnosed other skin diseases. We aimed explore the sensitization chlorhexidine-containing antiseptics infants children determ...

INTRODUCTION Although Mercromina Film and other topical antiseptics are widely used, they are not included in the standard series recommended by the Spanish Contact Dermatitis and Skin Allergy Research Group for testing suspected allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Furthermore, no recent studies have investigated the allergenic potential of merbromin. OBJECTIVE To determine the allergenic pote...

A flexible methacrylate powder dressing (Altrazeal®) transforms into a wound contour conforming matrix once in contact with wound exudate. We hypothesised that it may also serve as a drug delivery vehicle for antiseptics. The antimicrobial efficacy and influence on bacterial growth kinetics in combination with three antiseptics was investigated in an in vitro porcine wound model. Standardized i...
