Abstract excerpt

Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic agent used for hand hygiene worldwide. To evaluate the susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to chlorhexidine, this study determined MICs of chlorhexidine and another 12 antimicrobial agents, carriage of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin...
