Avaliação de três anti-sépticos na redução da microbiota cutânea abdominal em gatos

Bacterial isolation and evaluation of antisepsis protocols of the operative field of bitches submitted to ovariohysterectomy

“…Other authors have reported the use of chlorhexidine to combat outbreaks of S. aureus, including those that have methicillin resistance in intensive care units in human hospitals through daily baths in adults and newborn children (Christensen et al, 2001;El Helali et al, 2005;Sandri et al, 2006;Cunha et al, 2008). While Nogueira et al (1999) reported similar antimicrobial activity between CHG and PVPI suggesting that both are ideal for surgical antisepsis of the abdominal operative field of cats with an action time of five min; however, the authors do not mention product concentrations. Some criteria must be followed for the choice of antiseptics, such as the spectrum of antimicrobial activity, speed of action, residual power, low toxicity, good performance in the presence of organic matter, and not interfering in the wound healing and repair process (Osuna et al, 1990;Phillips et al, 1991;Schulz, 2014).…”
