Chlorhexidine digluconate (20% in water)

Description

Chlorhexidine digluconate 20 % in water is a orally active cationic antimicrobial agent that targets microbial cell membranes. Chlorhexidine digluconate 20 % in water binds to cell membrane phospholipids non-specifically, destroys membrane structure and induces leakage of cell contents. Chlorhexidine digluconate 20 % in water has broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Chlorhexidine digluconate 20 % in water can interfere with membrane permeability, cause protein precipitation and energy metabolism disorders, such as rapid inhibition of microbial growth and induction of cell death necrosis or apoptosis .
