Application

Used to study mechanism of membrane dysruption by bis(biguanide) molecules.

Chlorhexidine is used primarily as a topical antiseptic/disinfectant in wound healing, at catheterization sites, in various dental applications and in surgical scrubs. It has been used to study the inactivation of HIV and the immobilization of sperm. It was used to study effective skin antisepsis and disinfection of medical devices as well as the effects of antimicrobials on dental plaque.

Biochem/physiol Actions
