Possible Link between Bacterial Resistance and Use of Antibiotics and Biocides

1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt

Low-level plasmid-mediated resistance to cationic biocides such as chlorhexidine (CHX), quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), amidines, and acridines has been observed in antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis (1, 4, 5), and it has been postulated that strains in which qac genes are present might have enhanced survival in the clinical environment. Extensive use of...
