Abstract excerpt
Antiseptics such as chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) are widely used in clinical dental practice, but their potential risks, particularly regarding antimicrobial resistance (AMR), are not yet known. This study explores the genomic and transcriptomic mechanisms of CHX adaptation in 3 clinical isolates of Streptococcus spp. and their adapted counterparts. The genomic analysis revealed mutations in genes related to...
