Chlorhexidine 1 Liter Aqueous Solution Genel: Powerful Antiseptic for Skin and Surfaces
Chlorhexidine is a powerful broad-spectrum antiseptic, effective against a wide range of microorganisms. This 1-liter aqueous solution of Chlorhexidine Genel is a versatile disinfectant suitable for various applications, including skin and surface disinfection.
Efficacy and Applications
Chlorhexidine’s effectiveness stems from its bactericidal action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (excluding acid-fast forms), including:
- Treponema pallidum
- Chlamydia spp.
- Ureaplasma spp.
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Gardnerella vaginalis
- Bacteroides fragilis
It also demonstrates activity against protozoa (Trichomonas vaginalis), microbial spores, viruses, and fungi. While less effective against some Proteus and Pseudomonas species, its broad-spectrum activity makes it a valuable antiseptic.
